Prognostic Impact of EBUS TBNA for Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients with Postoperative Recurrences.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to verify the importance and the timing of endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial biopsy (EBUS TBNA) among lung adenocarcinoma patients after radical resection.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had ever received radical resection from January 2002 to December 2021. The patients were divided into two groups, with and without EBUS TBNA, for diagnosis or staging.
resultsOf 2018 patients with NSCLC, after surgical resection of lung tumors, there were 232 with recurrences. Under multivariate Cox regression analysis, patients with recurrences who received EBUS TBNA had a statistically higher mean maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.115, confidence interval (CI) = 1.004-1.238,
conclusionsThe clinical practice of EBUS TBNA is not only for diagnosis, but also for nodal staging. We found that lung adenocarcinoma patients with recurrences who received EBUS TBNA had better overall survival. Therefore, EBUS TBNA is a reliable and feasible tool that could be used in lung adenocarcinoma patients with recurrences for early diagnosis and for adequate tissue specimens for further molecular analysis.
