1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Since it is difficult to obtain tumor tissue via airway observation for lung cancer patients with a poor respiratory condition, endoscopic ultrasound with bronchoscope-guided fine-needle-aspiration (EUS-B-FNA), a transesophageal procedure, is effective for such patients. We herein report three patients with driver oncogenes taken to the emergency department because of lung cancer-related symptoms. EUS-B-FNA was performed because of the patients' poor respiratory conditions to detect driver oncogenes. The general conditions improved, and the patients achieved a long-term survival with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Our findings suggest that EUS-B-FNA should be considered to detect driver oncogenes in lung cancer patients despite poor respiratory conditions in emergency departments.
