Pediatric flexible bronchoscopy: A tertiary single center experience.

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
objectiveFlexible bronchoscopy (FB) is an important tool for evaluating pediatric patients with respiratory issues. This study aims to investigate the clinical features of children who underwent FB.
methodsThe study included 191 children who underwent FB between April 1, 2021 and December 31, 2022. Demographic and clinical data were retrospectively reviewed.
resultsOne hundred ninety-one children (45% girl) were enrolled to study. Median age was 25 months (min 1, max 214 months) and median duration of complaints was 4 (min 1, max 80) months. Among the patients, 61.7% of them had a chronic disease. The main indications were stridor (17.6%) and extubation failure (13.5%). Rate of patients in the ICU during FB was 27.5% and 15.5% of them were intubated. Airway secretions in the lower respiratory tract and isolated laryngomalacia were the most common abnormal FB results (30.1% and 9.8% respectively). The most common abnormal FB findings were in children with extubation failure (92.3%). Forty percent of patients with chronic cough had abnormal FB findings. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) sampling was performed in 61.6% (n=119) of patients and Haemophilus influenzae was the most common pathogen in these patients (n=40).
conclusionFB is a valuable tool for investigating airway pathology and BAL sampling in children with respiratory problems.
