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
Objective: The changes in the pattern of referrals and manifestations of foreign body aspiration (FBA) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mashhad City, East of Iran, have yet to be investigated in detail. The present study was conducted to determine the clinical symptoms and results of rigid bronchoscopy in patients referred with suspicion of FBA during the COVID-19 pandemic and before the outbreak. Materials and methods: This retrospective study was conducted by collecting data about hospitalized patients suspected of FBA between the ages of 6 months and 14 years at the Children's Hospital of Mashhad between 2018 and 2022. The items recorded in this study included age, gender, chief complaint at presentation, accompanying symptoms, duration of hospitalization, bronchoscopy report, and final diagnosis. Results: A total of 394 children with suspicion of FBA with an average age of 29.89 ± 26.97 months (6-157 months) were included, of which 232 (58.9%) were male, and the rest female. Of these, 213 (54.1%) patients were referred before the start of the pandemic, and 181 (45.9%) were referred during it. There was a meaningful difference between the genders ( Conclusion: The rate of foreign body observation in bronchoscopy of children suspected of having a foreign body during COVID-19 is higher than in the pre-COVID-19 era.
