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

backgroundEndobronchial navigation is performed in a variety of ways, none of which are meeting all the clinicians' needs required to reach diagnostic success in every patient. We sought to characterize precurved and steerable guiding sheaths (GS) in endobronchial targeting for lung biopsy using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) based augmented fluoroscopy (AF) image guidance.

methodsFour precurved GS (Edge

resultsThe steerable DT had the largest range of GS delivery angles (θ

conclusionsEndobronchial needle delivery with AF guidance is feasible without a bronchoscope with steerable GS providing comparable or improved accuracy compared to precurved GS.
