The hemorrhage risk of patients undergoing bronchoscopic examinations or treatments.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundIn recent years, bronchoscopic procedures have become more complex and sophisticated, as well as more extensively used. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, particularly the hemorrhage risk, of patients undergoing bronchoscopic examinations or treatments.
methodsThis retrospective study consisted of inpatients and outpatients who underwent bronchoscopic examinations or treatments in our respiratory department between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2019. We collected and analyzed the patient and bronchoscopic data.
resultsAmong the 45,734 patients who underwent diagnostic or therapeutic bronchoscopies, the severe complication rate was 0.85%, and the mortality was 0.01%. The severe complication rates varied significantly among the types of bronchoscopic procedures; the rate was higher with therapeutic bronchoscopies than with exploratory examination or biopsy bronchoscopies. Bleeding was the most common severe complication, and it occurred more frequently with biopsies in the left upper lobe and the bronchus intermedius, but its incidence decreased as the number of biopsies increased above one.
conclusionsAlthough bronchoscopic procedures have become more complex and sophisticated, bronchoscopies are still well tolerated. However, precautions should be taken because hemorrhaging and pneumothorax remain potential complications, and they can be fatal.
