1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Given the high rate of small lung nodules detected during the oncological follow up for various cancers, in the era of personalize medicine, the histological diagnosis is of paramount importance. Usually, the small peripheral lung nodules are historically reached using a CT guided biopsy but this technique is characterized by an high rate of pneumothorax. Endoscopic procedures were referred only for central tumor that occluded the mains bronchi. In the last few years, the spreading of EBUS-TBNA, EUS-FNA and the navigational bronchoscopy systems has increase the use of these technique also for the diagnosis of small lung nodules.
