Endosonography Diagnosis with a New ProCore 20G of Mediastinal Metastasis from a Malignant Cutaneous Melanoma.
Article in Turkish thoracic journal, 2021. 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
Melanoma is an uncommon tumor and represents about 1.5% of all neoplasms. In the mediastinum, it presents as a primary neoplasm or metastasis. Diagnosis is essential for the adoption of the best therapy. Endosonography-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) obtains cell samples and, when associated with other auxiliary exams such as immunohistochemistry, is useful to identify and differentiate primary and/or metastatic mediastinal lesions from a wide variety of other neoplasms. The endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) sensitivity is low and similar to endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle biopsy (EBUS-TBNB) performed with the ProCore 25G or 22G needle. Thus, the diagnosis of this type of tumor becomes a great challenge. The authors report the first case in the literature of metastatic mediastinal melanoma derived from malignant cutaneous melanoma, which was submitted to Endosonography-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) with the new ProCore 20G, to obtain tissue, being confirmed by histological examination of the specimens obtained with a single puncture.
