Multidisciplinary Management of Foreign Body Aspiration in Pediatrics: A Case Complicated by Bilateral Pneumothorax and Respiratory Failure.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population, particularly in children under three years of age. This condition often presents with nonspecific respiratory symptoms, leading to delays in diagnosis and an increased risk of severe complications such as pneumothorax and respiratory failure. Here, we present a case of a 2-year-old child with FBA complicated by bilateral pneumothorax, severe respiratory acidosis, and left lung collapse. Diagnostic imaging, including computed tomography (CT), identified an obstruction in the left main bronchus. High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) and multidisciplinary planning were critical in stabilizing the patient before definitive management with rigid bronchoscopy under high-risk conditions. The case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with severe FBA and underscores the importance of advanced therapeutic modalities, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), in managing critically ill pediatric patients.
