Flexible versus Rigid Bronchoscopy for Tracheobronchial Foreign Body Removal in Children: A Comparative Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The removal of foreign bodies (FBs) from the airways of children is a critical procedure that can avert serious complications. While both flexible and rigid bronchoscopy techniques are employed for this purpose, their comparative efficacy and safety remain subjects of debate. Therefore, we conducted this investigation to compare between both procedures. Studies comparing flexible to rigid bronchoscopy (
