Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure from Foreign Body Aspiration in a 16-Month-Old: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical practice and cases in emergency medicine, 2026. 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
introductionAcute hypercapnic respiratory failure secondary to foreign body aspiration is a rare but severe complication seen in pediatric patients. Foreign body aspiration is one of the leading causes of death in children and requires prompt intervention and stabilization when definitive bronchoscopy is not readily available. CASE REPORT: We describe the case of a 16-month-old male who developed acute hypercapnic respiratory failure following the aspiration of a foreign body. On presentation to the emergency department, the child was in respiratory distress, appeared cyanotic, and had severely impaired oxygenation, all indicating respiratory failure. Initial management involved stabilization, advanced airway management, and ventilatory adjustments. Efficient communication with multiple specialists coordinated the appropriate transfer of the patient to a tertiary pediatric facility for bronchoscopy and ultimate successful foreign body removal without complications.
conclusionThe report highlights challenges in the management of pediatric foreign body aspiration leading to severe hypercapnia, the importance of interdisciplinary coordination, and the management techniques used to stabilize the patient for safe transfer to a tertiary care center.
