Efficacy and Safety of Cryobiopsy vs. Forceps Biopsy for Interstitial Lung Diseases, Lung Tumors, and Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06553651 (Necrosectomy With Cryotechnology for Accelerated Removal), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Background: Cryobiopsy has emerged as a novel alternative to conventional forceps biopsy for the diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), lung tumors, and peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). This study aims to compare cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy for the diagnosis of these lung pathologies with respect to efficacy and safety by performing a meta-analysis of updated evidence. Methods: A number of databases, such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, OVID, CNKI, and Wanfang database, were searched for eligible studies. Randomized and non-randomized comparative studies investigating the efficacy and safety of cryobiopsy vs. forceps biopsy for lung pathologies were included. Pooled results were calculated as an odds ratio ( Results: A total of 39 studies, such as 9 RCTs with 3,586 biopsies (1,759 cryobiopsies and 1,827 flexible forceps biopsies) were analyzed. Cryobiopsy was associated with a significant increase in the diagnostic rates of ILDs ( Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that cryobiopsy is a safe and efficacious alternative to conventional forceps biopsy.
