Flexible Bronchoscopy for Sewing Pin Removal From Intrabronchial in a Young Adult: A Case Report From Calmette Hospital, Cambodia.

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 is a frightening experience that can be life-threatening. Although it occurs more frequently in children, it can also affect adults, often related to neurological illness, dental procedures, or accidental aspiration during daily activities. Diagnosis relies on clinical history, imaging and bronchoscopy. We report a case of a 20-year-old Cambodian man, a wedding decorator, who accidentally inhaled a sewing pin while laughing during work. He presented with persistent cough and dyspnoea. Chest radiography initially showed the pin in the trachea, which later migrated into the left main bronchus. The foreign body was successfully removed using flexible bronchoscopy under moderate sedation, after local anaesthesia proved inadequate. The patient was discharged the same day without complications. This case demonstrates the effectiveness of flexible bronchoscopy and the importance of timely intervention in preventing surgical intervention, particularly in resource-limited settings.
