Endobronchial fibroepithelial polyp presenting as persistent wheezing in a 9-year-old girl: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Fibroepithelial polyps are benign tumours that usually arise from cutaneous or mucosal surfaces. In children they most commonly involve the skin, oral cavity, and genitourinary tract, whereas endobronchial localization is exceptionally rare. We report the case of a 9-year-old girl with persistent biphasic wheezing, cough and dyspnoea on exertion despite appropriate asthma-directed treatment. High-resolution computed tomography of the chest revealed an endobronchial lesion associated with distal bronchiectatic changes, and bronchoscopy confirmed the presence of a protruding endobronchial polyp. The lesion was completely removed endoscopically, and histopathological and immunohistochemical examination confirmed the diagnosis of a benign fibroepithelial polyp. Following removal, the respiratory symptoms resolved completely, with substantial regression of the bronchiectatic changes at six-month follow-up. This case highlights the importance of considering structural airway obstruction in children with persistent or biphasic wheezing that fails to respond to appropriate asthma therapy.
