Robotic bronchoscopy in diagnosing lung cancer-the evidence, tips and tricks: a clinical practice review.
Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The development of robotic-assisted bronchoscopy has empowered bronchoscopists to access the periphery of the lung with more confidence and promising accuracy. This is due in large to the superior maneuverability, further reach, and stability of these technologies. Despite the advantages of robotic bronchoscopy, there are some drawbacks to using these technologies, such as the loss of tactile feedback, the need to overcome computed tomography (CT)-to-body divergence, and the potential for overreliance on the navigation software. There are currently two robotic bronchoscopy platforms on the US market, the Monarch
