Sampling pleural nodules with an EBUS scope: A novel application.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Convex endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (C-EBUS-TBNA) has become an essential modality for diagnosis and staging of hilar, mediastinal, and central pulmonary lesions. A Trans-thoracic pleural biopsy is the accepted practice for diagnosing pleural nodules. However, the diagnostic yield of a pleural biopsy is limited and surgical procedures pose a greater risk. We report a unique case of using a C- EBUS scope for the diagnosis of pleural nodules and mediastinal lymph node metastasis in a man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
