Flexible Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy for Esophageal Foreign Body Removal in Children.

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 and aim: This case series aims to evaluate the effectiveness of fiberoptic flexible bronchoscopy for esophageal foreign body retrieval in children, showcasing its advantages in resource-limited settings. Technique: Two cases are presented: A three-month-old infant who ingested a metallic locket, and a six-year-old child with cerebral palsy who swallowed an earring. Both foreign bodies were successfully extracted using a fiberoptic bronchoscope, with rat tooth forceps in the first case and a Dormia basket in the second. Conclusion: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy proved to be a safe and effective method of esophageal foreign body removal in young infants and in the absence of a gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy setup. Clinical significance: This technique offers a viable alternative to upper GI endoscopy for pediatric foreign body extraction, especially in resource-limited settings, enhancing patient outcomes and procedural safety.
