The efficacy and safety of extraluminal bronchial blockers in pediatric patients during one-lung ventilation for thoracoscopic surgery.
Trial report in Pediatric surgery international, 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
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the impact and safety of extraluminal bronchial blockers on ventilation parameters in pediatric patients undergoing one lung ventilation (OLV) for thoracoscopic surgery. We hypothesized that, compared with endotracheal tube ventilation alone, the use of a bronchial blocker positioned outside the endotracheal tube can enhance lung collapse quality and improve ventilation efficiency without increasing the risk of complications.
methodsIn this prospective randomized controlled trial, a total of 128 pediatric patients who underwent OLV thoracoscopic surgery between February 2021 and February 2024 were enrolled and randomly assigned to two groups using a random number table method. The control group (n = 64) received ventilation via endotracheal tubes alone, while the study group (n = 64) received ventilation using extraluminal bronchial blockers. The primary outcome measures were the rate of satisfactory lung collapse. Secondary outcomes included arterial carbon dioxide pressure 20 min after OLV, surgical duration, intubation time, catheter dislodgement rate, and postoperative complications.
resultsThe rate of excellent and good lung collapse was 100% in the study group, significantly higher than the 90.62% observed in the control group (p < 0.05). Airway pressure and partial pressure of carbon dioxide at 20, 40, and 60 min post-OLV were lower in the study group than in the control group, with significant between-group effects (η²ₚ = 0.54 and 0.24, respectively; p < 0.05). The study group demonstrated significantly shorter surgical duration and intubation times compared to the control group (p < 0.05), with mean differences of - 21.34 min [95% confidence interval (CI): - 32.68, -9.99] and - 1.17 min (95% CI - 1.41, - 0.93), respectively. The incidence of endotracheal tube displacement was lower in the study group (4.69%) than in the control group (17.19%), with a relative risk of 0.27 (95% CI 0.08, 0.92) (p < 0.05). No significant differences were detected between the groups in the incidence of postoperative sore throat, hoarseness, hypoxemia, or nausea and vomiting (p > 0.05).
conclusionThe use of an extraluminal bronchial blocker with an endotracheal tube allowed for improved lung collapse quality and more effective maintenance of ventilation efficiency during OLV in pediatric thoracoscopic surgery, while demonstrating a favorable safety profile.
