Management of oral antiplatelet agents and anticoagulation therapy before bronchoscopy.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Although, bronchoscopy is a relatively safe procedure, small amount of bleeding in the airway can have serious consequences. Careful consideration of the risks of diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopic intervention can help minimize potential complications. With increasing number of patients using antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapies, strategies for minimizing thromboembolic and operative bleeding events need to be included in the risk and benefit analyses. Growing evidence suggests that aspirin is safe and does not increase bleeding during bronchoscopy. In addition, despite small studies reporting that it may be safe to perform bronchoscopic procedures that have low risk for bleeding such as endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration on clopidogrel, it is still recommended to hold it for 7 days prior to performing elective bronchoscopy. It is recommended to hold vitamin K antagonist, as well as new oral anticoagulation agents prior to bronchoscopy. The timing for pre-procedural discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy and the decision to bridge depend on the agent used, the renal function and the thromboembolic risk. In this review article, we will discuss available data regarding management of anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy as it applies to bronchoscopic procedures.
