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
introductionPatients undergoing lung cancer (LC) surgery often develop pulmonary infection (PI) due to poor sputum excretion ability leading to accumulation of secretions. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) during fiberoptic bronchoscopy can be used to clear respiratory secretions and serve as a vehicle to locally deliver antibiotics that fight infection.
aimThis study explored the clinical efficacy of BAL‑assisted mechanical ventilation (MV) in patients with postoperative PI and its influence on inflammatory parameters. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 90 LC patients with postoperative PI were enrolled and divided into an MV group (n = 45) and a BAL‑assisted MV group (n = 45). Therapeutic effects, respiratory mechanics, lung function parameters, blood gas indices, and levels of inflammatory parameters in peripheral blood were compared between the groups.
resultsIn comparison with the MV group, the PI control time, MV duration, temperature recovery time, and Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score of patients in the BAL‑assisted MV group were greatly reduced. In both groups, airway resistance, peak airway pressure, and work of breathing decreased, while lung compliance increased. Maximum minute ventilation, total lung capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, and maximum mid‑expiratory flow were substantially enhanced following each treatment. In addition, post‑treatment arterial oxygen pressure and saturation, pH value, and the ratio of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood to the fraction of inspiratory oxygen concentration increased, while partial pressure of carbon dioxide decreased in both groups. The levels of inflammatory markers (high‑sensitivity C‑reactive protein, procalcitonin, tumor necrosis factor α, high‑mobility group box 1, interleukin 6, and macrophage inflammatory protein 1α) in peripheral blood were decreased regardless of the treatment method (all
conclusionsBAL‑assisted MV can achieve better results in treating postoperative PI than MV alone, effectively improving respiratory function and reducing systemic inflammatory response.
