Utility of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in HIV-infected patients with undiagnosed intrathoracic lymphadenopathy.
Article in Lung India : official organ of Indian Chest Society. 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
backgroundIntrathoracic lymphadenopathy is a common problem in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV). There is, however, limited literature on the utility of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in these patients. Herein, we describe our experience with EBUS-TBNA in PLHIV. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis is a retrospective study of all PLHIV who underwent EBUS-TBNA for the evaluation of intrathoracic lymphadenopathy. We also perform a systematic review of the English literature for studies reporting the yield of EBUS-TBNA in PLHIV.
resultsDuring the study, 1733 EBUS procedures were performed. Among them, 22 (1.3%) were performed in PLHIV. The median age of the individuals (18.2% women) was 46 years. The median CD4 count was 144 cells/mm
conclusionsEBUS-TBNA is a safe and useful procedure in the evaluation of intrathoracic lymphadenopathy in PLHIV.
