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

In patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), the most frequent locations of lung cancer are within or near fibrotic lesions. However, the diagnostic yield for peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) within or near fibrotic lesions using endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath transbronchial biopsy (EBUS-GS TBB) may be unsatisfactory compared to that for PPLs distant from fibrotic lesions because of the difficulty in reaching the lesions. Our objectives were to evaluate the yield for PPLs using EBUS-GS TBB according to the proximity of PPLs to fibrotic lesions and to determine factors affecting the yield for PPLs. We retrospectively investigated 323 consecutive lesions using EBUS-GS TBB between 1 November 2014 and 31 December 2016. We identified PPLs with ILD in such lesions. PPLs with ILD were divided into PPLs within or near fibrotic lesions which met the criterion of PPLs, and of fibrotic lesions overlapping each other (PPLs-FL) and those distant from fibrotic lesions, which met the criterion of PPLs and the area of fibrotic lesion not overlapping each other (PPLs-NFL). Of the 323 lesions, 55 were included (31 PPLs-FL and 24 PPLs-NFL). The diagnostic yield for PPLs-FL was significantly lower than for PPLs-NFL (45.2% vs. 83.3%,
