Rigid bronchoscopy is the gold standard management of inhaled foreign bodies in children: myth or maxim?
Review in Breathe (Sheffield, England), 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
Foreign body inhalation carries potential for significant morbidity and mortality. Technological advances in imaging and flexible endoscopes have challenged the status of rigid bronchoscopy as the gold standard for inhaled foreign body management. This review of the assessment and management of inhaled foreign bodies focuses on tracheobronchial foreign bodies in children. Myths surrounding clinical assessment, use of radiography and procedures for addressing foreign bodies are sequentially deconstructed using evidence from the literature. If foreign body aspiration is suspected, prompt intervention is required to minimise sequelae of delayed diagnosis. The threshold for bronchoscopy should be low, with rigid techniques remaining the gold standard, and maintenance of these skills essential.
