The role of interventional bronchoscopy in the management of malignant central airway obstruction.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Nearly a third of patients with primary lung cancer present with malignant central airway obstruction (MCAO), and some of them appear to have advanced disease. In these patients, accurate staging is crucial. Although the literature extensively outlines the role of interventional bronchoscopy in palliation, its contribution to refining the staging of patients with MCAO is noteworthy. Here, we present a case of a patient initially diagnosed with stage IV cancer due to a left mainstem tumor causing complete lung collapse. He was referred to our institution for palliative treatment of his cough. Following interventional bronchoscopy, the patient's staging was revised to T1a, and subsequently, he underwent lobectomy without complications.
