Sclerosing pneumocytoma diagnosed by preoperative endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA).

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
backgroundSclerosing pneumocytoma is a rare lung tumor that is usually recognized as a solitary nodule in the lung. Surgical removal is recommended; however, its clinical diagnosis is still an issue because it is difficult to differentiate from lung adenocarcinomas using a tiny sample obtained from biopsy. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma located in the upper lobe of the right lung of a 34-year-old woman, which was diagnosed before surgery by endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). A 3-cm irregular mass was detected by chest X-ray without any symptoms. She was referred to our hospital after being followed for 10 years in her previous clinic. During this follow-up period, the tumor had grown to 5 cm. We performed the EBUS-TBNA for the diagnosis. The histological findings obtained by EBUS-TBNA consisted of alveolar type 2-like cells that were positive for napsin A and round cells that were positive for vimentin. Based on these immunostaining results, we successfully diagnosed sclerosing pneumocytoma before surgery. Right upper lobectomy was performed, and the pathological diagnosis of the surgical specimen was also confirmed as sclerosing pneumocytoma.
conclusionsWe herein report a case of sclerosing pneumocytoma, which was clinically diagnosed by EBUS-TBNA and resected surgically.
