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
A middle-aged male presented with chronic cough, shortness of breath and fever. In the presence of wheeze and mild right-sided opacities on chest x-ray, he was treated for infective exacerbation of asthma with nebulised bronchodilators, antibiotics and steroids. Due to persistent wheeze, a contrasted computed tomography (CT) scan was done and revealed the presence of two endobronchial linear foreign body (FB) opacities, the second located more distally than the first. A rigid bronchoscopy-based technique under general anaesthesia was used to remove the first FB, and flexible bronchoscopy via endotracheal tube was used for the second FB in the same session. This case illustrates the tenets of airway FB diagnosis and management. The differential diagnosis of radiolucent airway FB needs to be considered in patients with chronic symptoms. Rigid and flexible bronchoscopy techniques are complementary. Peripheral lesions are more accessible by flexible bronchoscopy. Measures to ensure complete removal of FBs must be consistently incorporated into routine practice.
