A literature review: progress in the study of plastic bronchitis.
Review in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This literature review aims to synthesize current evidence on plastic bronchitis (PB), a disease characterized by varying degrees of branching cast formation in the airways. The rationale for undertaking this review stems from the increasing recognition of PB as a potentially life-threatening condition in pediatric populations, coupled with significant recent advances in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. By systematically searching and analyzing historical literature related to PB from multiple electronic databases, this review examines the current status of PB studies across five critical domains: risk factors, pathology and pathogenesis, clinical features and diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Particular emphasis is placed on recent advances in diagnostic imaging, interventional bronchoscopy techniques, and emerging pharmacological therapies. This review provides clinically relevant guidance to enhance awareness and improve management strategies for this rare but serious condition among pediatric practitioners.
