Bronchoscopic navigation and tissue diagnosis.
Review in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Diagnosis of early-stage lung cancer has become increasingly important as the detection of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) grows with widespread adoption of CT-based lung cancer screening. Although CT-guided transthoracic needle aspiration has been the standard diagnostic approach for PPLs, transbronchial sampling by bronchoscopy is often performed due to its reduced rate of adverse events. However, the diagnostic yield of conventional bronchoscopy is often poor. Various bronchoscopic technologies have emerged over recent years to address this limitation, including thin/ultrathin bronchoscopes, radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS), virtual navigation bronchoscopy (VBN), electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB), and robotic bronchoscopy. Bronchoscopic transparenchymal nodule access (BTPNA) and transbronchial access tool (TBAT) are novel techniques that leverage navigational bronchoscopic technologies to further improve access to lesions throughout the lung. The devices used for sampling tissue have similarly evolved, such as the introduction of cryobiopsy. These innovative bronchoscopic techniques allows higher diagnostic yield even in small PPLs. Given the complexity of these new techniques and technologies, it is important for physicians to understand their strengths and limitations.
