Endobronchial ultrasound-guided intranodal forceps biopsy (EBUS-IFB)-technical review.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) have changed the landscape of pulmonology. Mediastinal structures beyond the confines of airway walls are visualized in real-time with EBUS, leading to improved accuracy of tissue sampling and diagnostic yield. With the development of various needle sizes ranging from 25-G to 19-G, the sampling of lymph nodes is becoming easier and more commonplace. Yet, certain conditions such as sarcoidosis and lymphoma may still be difficult to diagnose via EBUS-TBNA. Furthermore, in the age of targeted therapy, there are more demands on EBUS-TBNA samples for molecular marker testing and next-generation sequencing. Here, we present a complementary methodology, EBUS-guided intranodal forceps biopsy (EBUS-IFB), for tissue acquisition that may help address these deficiencies. Specifically, we aim to propose indications, contraindications, outline approaches in performing IFB, and provide an overview of the data for this complementary technique.
