EUS-B-FNA for Left Adrenal Lesions in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients: Report of Cases and Literature Review.
Article in Turkish thoracic journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The left adrenal gland (LAG) is a common metastatic site in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. In practice, staging mainly relies on radiologic studies and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). Recently, a new technique using convex probe-endobronchial ultrasound (CP-EBUS) scope through the esophagus (EUS-B) has been introduced. A complete mediastinal staging and a reach for upper-abdominal structures in a single session naturally attract attention. However, scientific data are not sufficient to clearly judge the role of this technique in the cytological diagnosis of left adrenal lesions. Therefore, we present cases in which our patients have undergone EUS-B for LAG lesions to increase the data in the literature with regard to accessibility, diagnostic performance, and rate of complications.
