Diagnostic value of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in solitary mediastinal, hilar lymphadenectasis, or peribronchial lesions: Six cases reports and review of literature.
Review in Medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundPatients with isolated mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathy, or peribronchial lesions, are common presentation to clinicians. Due to the difficulty in tissue sampling, the pathological diagnosis is not so easy. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is an established, highly effective, minimally invasive technique for sampling. The current study was conducted to investigate the value of EBUS-TBNA in patients of solitary mediastinal, hilar lymphadenectasis, or peribronchial lesions.
methodsSix patients with different pathological results diagnosed via EBUS-TBNA were retrospectively analyzed in this study.
resultsAll 6 patients of solitary mediastinal, hilar lymphadenectasis, or peribronchial lesions underwent conventional flexible bronchoscopy before EBUS-TBNA, but only EBUS-TBNA was helpful for the finally definite diagnosis. No complication was observed.
conclusionEBUS-TBNA is a safe and highly effective diagnostic procedure for both benign and malignant diseases, especially for patients with solitary mediastinal, hilar lymphadenectasis, or peribronchial lesions.
