Navigational bronchoscopy: a guide through history, current use, and developing technology.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05705544 (Robotic Versus Electromagnetic Bronchoscopy for Pulmonary LesIon AssessmeNT), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 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.

Abstract
The peripheral pulmonary nodule offers unique challenges to the clinician, especially in regards to diagnostic approach. Quite often the etiology of the nodule is spurious, though the specter of malignancy drives accurate classification of the nodule. Diagnostic approaches range in degrees of invasiveness, accuracy, and morbidity. Bronchoscopic access to these nodules had been plagued by low reported yields, especially in fluoroscopically invisible nodules. Navigational bronchoscopy, however, allowed more accurate access to peripheral nodules while maintaining a low morbidity, and thus reshaped the historic diagnostic algorithms. Though navigational bronchoscopy was initially associated with electromagnetic navigation, newer approaches to navigation and new technologies provide enthusiasm that yield can improve. In this article we will provide a historical approach to navigational bronchoscopy, from its origins to its current state, and we will discuss developing technology and its potential role in the evolving paradigm of the peripheral nodule biopsy.
