ECMO and rigid bronchoscopy-assisted surgical resection of a giant pulmonary mesenchymal tumor in a child: a case report.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundGiant pulmonary mesenchymal tumors in children pose significant challenges in pediatric anesthesia practice. During resection, these tumors can lead to complications such as cardiovascular collapse during anesthesia induction and injury to adjacent organs or blood vessels that may be compressed or displaced. CASE PRESENTATION: A 3-year-old girl presented to the pediatric clinic with cough, wheezing, and orthopnea (inability to lie flat due to dyspnea). After a diagnosis of giant pulmonary mesenchymal tumor, she underwent complete resection under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and high-frequency ventilation, with rigid bronchoscopy used for airway management. ECMO was successfully discontinued, and the tracheal tube was extubated 3 days later. At 4-week follow-up, her symptoms significantly resolved, and no neurological or cardiovascular complications were reported.
conclusionsThis is one of the few detailed reports of a pediatric pulmonary mesenchymal tumor managed with ECMO and rigid bronchoscopy so far. Preoperative multidisciplinary cooperation, ECMO, and rigid bronchoscopy are critical for the successful resection of pediatric pulmonary mesenchymal tumors and may significantly improve long-term outcomes in pediatric patients.
