Diagnostic Performance of Electromagnetic Navigation versus Virtual Navigation Bronchoscopy-Guided Biopsy for Pulmonary Lesions in a Single Institution: Potential Role of Artificial Intelligence for Navigation Planning.

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
Navigation bronchoscopy is an emerging technique used to evaluate pulmonary lesions. Using Veran's SPiN electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) and Archimedes virtual bronchoscopy navigation (VBN), this study aimed to compare the accuracy and safety of these procedures for lung lesions and to identify potentially relevant knowledge for the application of artificial intelligence in interventional pulmonology in a single institute. This single-center, retrospective study compared the ENB and VBN results in patients with pulmonary lesions unsuitable for biopsy via percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy methods. A total of 35 patients who underwent navigation bronchoscopy for pulmonary lesion diagnosis were enrolled. Nineteen patients were stratified in the ENB group, and sixteen were in the VBN group. The mean age of this cohort was 67.6 ± 9.9 years. The mean distance of the lesion from the pleural surface was 16.1 ± 11.7 mm (range: 1.0-41.0 mm), and most lesions were a solid pattern (
