Endobronchial ultrasound elastography in mediastinal lymphadenopathy: Report of two cases and systematic review of literature.

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
Endobronchial ultrasound elastography is new ultrasound technology that is being reported recently for the evaluation of mediastinal lymphadenopathy during endobronchial ultrasound-guided (EBUS) transbronchial needle aspiration. This modality is based on the assessment of tissue stiffness that may be useful in differentiating benign from malignant lesions. Image generation leads to colored images with different colors signifying varying degrees of stiffness. The utility of this technique has been studied to differentiate between benign and malignant lymph nodes and various methods for representation of results which include visual color estimation, quantitative color estimation, and strain ratios have been described. Herein, we report two patients with mediastinal lymphadenopathy wherein EBUS elastography was employed. We also systemically review the studies describing this technique in differentiating benign from malignant lymph nodes.
