1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is accepted as a safe and minimally invasive modality for evaluation of mediastinal pathologies in adults. There is scanty literature on the utilization and performance characteristics of Convex probe EBUS-TBNA in children. The authors herein describe two pediatric patients with mediastinal lymphadenopathy wherein the underlying diagnosis was unclear based on the clinico-radiological profile. A possibility of lymphoma was considered in one of the patients. EBUS-TBNA was performed for obtaining tissue samples from the enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes and diagnosis of tuberculosis was established in both the patients. The authors review the available literature on Pediatric EBUS TBNA. EBUS-TBNA is an exciting and promising approach towards safe and accurate evaluation of mediastinal pathologies in children. Pediatric EBUS-TBNA needs further evaluation in prospective studies.
