First Asia-Pacific experience of trans-bronchial core biopsy with a Franseen needle.

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
Background: Endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the standard for evaluating mediastinal and hilar lesions. EBUS-TBNA is limited by small volume of material obtained for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and ancillary studies important for oncological therapies. The Franseen Acquire Methods: A retrospective cohort study of EBUS-TBNB at the Royal Adelaide Hospital was conducted between December 2019 and May 2021. Diagnostic rate, adequacy for ancillary studies and complications were evaluated. Samples were flushed into formalin for histological processing with no rapid on-site cytological evaluation (ROSE). For suspected lymphoma, samples were flushed into HANKS for flow cytometry. Cases performed with the Olympus Vizishot Results: One hundred and eighty-nine patients were sampled with the Acquire Conclusions: Acquire
