Advancements in navigational bronchoscopy for peripheral pulmonary lesions: A review with special focus on virtual bronchoscopic navigation.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Lung cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Low-dose computed tomography for lung cancer screening has increased the incidence of peripheral pulmonary lesions. Surveillance and early detection of these lesions at risk of developing cancer are critical for improving patient survival. Because these lesions are usually distal to the lobar and segmental bronchi, they are not directly visible with standard flexible bronchoscopes resulting in low diagnostic yield for small lesions <2 cm. The past 30 years have seen several paradigm shifts in diagnostic bronchoscopy. Recent technological advances in navigation bronchoscopy combined with other modalities have enabled sampling lesions beyond central airways. However, smaller peripheral lesions remain challenging for bronchoscopic biopsy. This review provides an overview of recent advances in interventional bronchoscopy in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of peripheral pulmonary lesions, with a particular focus on virtual bronchoscopic navigation.
