Rapid and reliable collection of tumor tissue for successful gene panel in a patient with advanced stage lung cancer: A case report.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2023. 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
Rapid and reliable identification of targetable driver mutations in patients with advanced stage lung cancer is essential. Adequate amount of tumor tissue biopsies (i.e., genomic biopsies) are required to successfully analyze the gene panel. In the present case, we performed three pleural fluid investigations, including transbronchial biopsy of the primary tumor, transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of lymph node metastasis, and thoracoscopic biopsy of the pleural seeding sites. Among the three investigations, thoracoscopic biopsy alone successfully obtained a sufficient amount of tissue. Thus, it is important to determine the technique and site of biopsy, as multiple biopsies are not only burdensome to the patient, but also lead to significant delays in therapy induction.
