Mediastinal Nodal Staging Performance of Combined Endobronchial and Esophageal Endosonography in Lung Cancer Cases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
By searching lliteratures till January 5, 2022, we evaluated the role of the mediastinal nodal staging of endobronchial ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EBUS) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS) in lung cancer. A total of 20 studies with 2,961 patients were included in this study. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, PLR, and NLR for EBUS were 0.79, 0.97, 27.29, and 0.25, respectively. EUS showed staging performance similar to EBUS. The staging performance was significantly improved when combining EBUS + EUS.
