Diagnosis and invasive staging: Non-surgical invasive mediastinal staging. Endobronchial ultrasound.
Article in Journal of clinical and translational research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 diagnosis and staging of lung cancer are an important process that identifies treatment options and guides disease prognosis. Therefore, an accurate mediastinal lymph node (LN) staging is required not only to offer the appropriate treatment but also to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures. At present, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-transbronchial needle aspiration is the preferred modality for sampling mediastinal lymph nodes because of its minimally invasive nature and high diagnostic yield. In this review, we discuss the utility of EBUS in mediastinal LN staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). RELEVANCE FOR PATIENTS: The use of EBUS-TBNA in the diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar LN pathology has become in an essential endoscopic technique and the first step for staging of lung cancer.
