Bronchoscopic treatment of a giant bronchopleural fistula with autologous platelet-rich plasma.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundBronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a severe complication observed in patients undergoing lobectomy or pneumonectomy, often resulting in high morbidity and mortality rates. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of successful treatment of a giant bronchopleural fistula (20 mm *10 mm). The patient underwent a thoracoscopic right lower lobectomy.The approach we used was local injection of autologous frozen platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with bronchoscopic assistance while maintaining digital chest drainage.We chose the treatment of PRP combined with digital drainage for bronchopleural fistula, not only healing of the fistula but also focusing on elimination of the residual cavity in the thoracic cavity.
conclusionThis highlights the effectiveness of this comprehensive approach in the treatment of bronchopleural fistulae and provides a promising treatment option for future treatment of similarly large bronchopleural fistulae.
