The associations of radiological features of high-resolution computed tomography with the outcomes of transbronchial cryobiopsy in interstitial lung diseases: A cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
Background: Transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) is a critical procedure in the diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ILD). The associations between high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) features and outcomes of TBCB were unknown. Methods: This study was conducted as a single-center prospective cohort study between September 2018 and January 2020 (NCT04047667). HRCT was obtained before performing TBCB. The clinical and radiological characteristics, complications, pathological and multidisciplinary discussion (MDD) diagnoses were recorded. The relationships between HRCT features and outcomes of TBCB were analyzed. Results: TBCB was performed on 216 ILD patients. The radiological features usually interstitial pneumonia (UIP) or probable UIP, indeterminate for UIP, ground-glass opacities (GGO) and cysts were found in 55 (25.5%), 38 (17.6%), 84 (38.9%) and 9 (4.2%) patients, respectively. And 118 (54.6%) patients had high HRCT score (involved lung proportion ≥50%) in the biopsied lobe. Multivariate analysis suggested radiological probable UIP pattern may be an independent risk factor for moderate bleeding (OR = 4.304; 95% CI: 1.383-13.393; Conclusions: HRCT features were associated with moderate bleeding and pathological diagnosis. Pre-TBCB assessments of HRCT pattern and scores were helpful for bronchoscopists to make a better patient selection and procedure planning.
