Pediatric Airway Foreign Body Aspiration: A 5-Year Retrospective Analyses of Rigid Bronchoscopy Treatment.
Article in Sage open pediatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Pediatric airway foreign body aspiration (PAFBA) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children under 3. This study evaluates clinical presentations, foreign body types, management, complications, and seasonal trends over 5 years. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 237 patients (<17 years) with suspected PAFBA at Shar Emergency Hospital from June 2019 to June 2023. Data included demographics, symptoms, imaging, and bronchoscopy outcomes. Results: The median age was 3.5 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.34:1. Cough and breathing difficulty were common symptoms; 67.5% of cases were witnessed. Rigid bronchoscopy confirmed foreign bodies in 69.6% of cases, commonly sunflower seeds (14.3%) and scarf pins (13.5%), lodged in the right main bronchus (30.8%). Spring showed the highest incidence (34.1%). Complications were rare (1.2% mortality). Conclusion: PAFBA requires urgent diagnosis and rigid bronchoscopy. Increased family education and preventive measures are crucial, particularly during high-risk seasons.
