Role of bronchoscopy in management of central squamous cell lung carcinoma
Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Squamous cell carcinoma in situ (SCIS) is the pre-invasive stage of squamous cell carcinoma. Early detection and management of SCIS can prevent further progression. Although surgery and external beam radiation therapy are treatment options for SCIS, smaller lesions can be easily managed by bronchoscopic modalities like photodynamic therapy (PDT), cryotherapy, mechanical debulking with biopsy forceps, electrocautery and argon plasma coagulation (APC). Endobronchial brachytherapy (EBBT) and lasers may be judiciously utilized in selected cases. Although, previous studies of treatment modalities may have inadvertently included cases of invasive carcinomas, the advent of new technologies like radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) can help accurately determine the of depth of invasion. Superficial extent can also be better demarcated with techniques like auto-fluorescence bronchoscopy and narrow band imaging (NBI). New drugs for PDT with deeper penetration and less phototoxicity are being developed. These advances hopefully will allow us to perform superior clinical trials in future and improve our understanding of diagnosis and management of SCIS.
