Current status and perspective of EBUS-TBNA.
Review in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
In 2002, a new bronchoscope equipped with a convex type ultrasound probe on the tip was introduced into clinical practice. This convex probe endobronchial ultrasound (CP-EBUS) provides a long axis image of surrounding structures of the major airway. The CP-EBUS combined with a dedicated biopsy needle allows real-time endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. Samples obtained from EBUS-TBNA can be used for pathological diagnosis including immunohistochemistry. EBUS-TBNA is now being performed worldwide for several indications including mediastinal staging, mediastinal pathology and for benign diseases. For mediastinal staging in lung cancer, the diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA is comparable to surgical staging in patients with enlarged lymph nodes. In addition, EBUS-TBNA can be used for molecular analysis of tumor cells obtained during the procedure. DNA mutation testing using EBUS-TBNA samples was first reported in 2007 for a chondrosarcoma case. Also, isolated DNA from EBUS-TBNA samples was applied for epidermal growth factor receptor mutation testing and aberrant methylation analysis in patients with lung cancer. RNA was also isolated from properly stored EBUS-TBNA samples and used for gene expression research and aberrant fusion gene detection in lung cancer patients. Optimization of tissue banking methods of EBUS-TBNA specimens was also investigated. Currently, EBUS-TBNA samples can be used for comprehensive mRNA and miRNA expression analysis. EBUS-TBNA will become an important modality for bronchoscopists in the era of personalized medicine in lung cancer.
