1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We present a technique utilizing internal traction-assisted mobilization to effectively retrieve objects, such as pen caps, that lack an external grasping surface and resist conventional rigid bronchoscopy. In this case, tracheotomy served as an alternative extraction route for impacted foreign bodies that failed to pass across the glottis or subglottic region. Concurrently, ECMO maintains oxygenation during complex airway manipulation and reduces the risk of hypoxia.
