A Pediatric Case of Esophageal Foreign Body Removal Facilitated by Structured Briefing and Shared Visualization Using a Video Laryngoscope.
Article in Cureus, 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 ingestion is a common pediatric emergency, and coins are among the most frequently ingested objects. When a coin becomes lodged at the pharyngoesophageal junction, prompt removal is required to avoid perforation, mucosal injury, and airway compromise. We report the case of a five-year-old boy with a coin impacted in the upper esophagus at the level of the cricopharyngeus, successfully removed under general anesthesia using a video laryngoscope and Magill forceps without major complications. This case highlights two key educational points. First, the use of a video laryngoscope allowed the operator and supervisor to share the same view in real time, enabling immediate intraoperative guidance. Second, a structured pre-procedural briefing appeared to enhance intraoperative team performance, and a post-procedural debriefing appeared to reinforce learning outcomes. This case suggests that a structured educational approach, combined with shared visualization, may facilitate both safe management and effective teaching of infrequently performed procedures.
