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
Foreign body aspiration is common in pediatric setting and in chronic cases such patients often present with clinical features similar to infective respiratory etiologies. This is the case of a forgotten left bronchial foreign body in a 5-year-old girl, who presented with worsening of recurrent cough and fever. She was previously being treated as case of bronchial asthma and foreign body was missed on the imaging as well. It was subsequently expelled by chest physiotherapy. The case highlights the importance of having foreign body aspiration (FBA) as a differential in cases of chronic cough, even without any history of choking, to avoid diagnostic challenge. Moreover, spontaneous expulsion of foreign body was incidental clinical event and is not substitute for standard clinical care.
