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

Convex probe endobronchial ultrasound (CP-EBUS) has been widely used in the lymph node staging and restaging of lung tumors and the diagnosis of mediastinal diseases. Recent years have seen continuous progress in this technology. For diagnosis, elastography technology can preliminarily distinguish between benign and malignant lesions, so that reduce the number of punctures. CP-EBUS can also be used as an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) to guide needle aspirations of liver lesions, retroperitoneal lymph nodes and left adrenal gland (LAG) lesions sometimes. Some advances help diagnosing more accurately and effectively, such as the intranodal forceps biopsy (IFB), the new type of 22G needle, the rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) and the cancer gene methylation, etc. In addition, special advances are being made in diagnosis using artificial intelligence (AI). For treatment, CP-EBUS has yielded novel research results when applied to transbronchial needle injection (TBNI) and radioactive seed implantation in clinical cases, and blocking of the cardiac plexus in animal studies. The next-generation CP-EBUS is also ready for use in the clinic and the technology will be improving continuously. Through this review, we hope to educate clinicians on the latest uses of CP-EBUS and open up further research ideas for readers interested in this technology.
