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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveMediastinal lymphoma or right upper lung cancer is a common cause of superior vena cava obstruction syndrome (SVCOS). Endobronchial ultrasound-guided needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) biopsy is applied for the diagnosis of mediastinal mass disease. The aim of this study is to explore the safety and feasibility of EBUS-TBNA biopsy under general anesthesia for the clinical diagnosis of SVCOS.
methodsTwenty-five cases of SVCOS received EBUS-TBNA under general anesthesia between June 2012 and June 2013. The group consisted of 16 male and 9 female patients aged 33 years to 76 years, with a median age of 62.5.
resultsTwenty-four cases were confirmed to be of malignant pathology, and one case failed to yield a clear pathological diagnosis. No patient experienced any complications related to the operation, such as heavy bleeding and pneumothorax.
conclusionsFor patients presenting with SVCOS, EBUS-TBNA under general anesthesia is a safe and reliable inspection method of high diagnostic yield. This method can be used for routine examination when other means cannot obtain clear pathological diagnosis.
