Eleven-Year Undiagnosed Bronchial Foreign Body in an Adult: A Case Report.
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 aspiration (FBA) in adults is rare, and tooth aspiration represents an exceptionally uncommon subset. Even rarer is the prolonged retention of a tooth in the left main bronchus, which is anatomically less favorable for aspiration than the right. However, individual airway variations may predispose to such occurrences. We report the case of a 56-year-old woman with an 11-year history of recurrent "pneumonia-like" episodes characterized by chronic productive cough, intermittent fever, hemoptysis, and pleuritic chest pain. She had been repeatedly treated with empirical antibiotic regimens - including azithromycin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, and levofloxacin - and intermittent corticosteroids, resulting in only transient symptomatic relief. Subsequently, she developed recurrent profuse watery diarrhea following prolonged antibiotic exposure, initially managed with oral metronidazole but complicated by recurrence and eventual toxic megacolon secondary to severe
