First report of bilateral Bronchial Rheoplasty for treating chronic bronchitis performed in a single procedure.

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
Introduction: The RheOx system delivers brief, high-voltage electrical pulses to the airway lining, promoting the regeneration of healthy tissue and reducing mucus production in COPD patients with chronic bronchitis. The procedure, called Rheoplasty, is performed under general anesthesia using a bronchoscope with a 2.8-mm working channel. Initially, we conduct Bilateral Bronchial Rheoplasty in stages, spaced approximately one month apart, to allow patients to recover and minimize risks. Recent studies have not reported any device-related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) with Rheoplasty, but some procedure-related SAEs occurred within six months, in-cluding COPD exacerbation in 13.3% of cases and one instance of atrial fibrillation. Case: We present the first case of simultaneous bilateral Bronchial Rheoplasty, treating both lungs during one procedure. Contrary to expectations, this did not increase complications in our patient. Consolidating the procedure into one session may reduce risks, patient discomfort, and costs, although further research is needed to confirm these benefits.
