Breaking New Ground in Interventional Pulmonology: Integrating Cone Beam CT and Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy for High-Risk Pneumothorax in Peripherally Located Solitary Pulmonary Nodules.
Article in Cureus, 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
Lung cancer, a leading cause of global cancer-related deaths, necessitates the development of innovative diagnostic techniques. Traditional bronchoscopy, while useful, has limitations in diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) and carries a higher risk of complications such as pneumothorax. However, the field of interventional pulmonology has seen significant advancements, including the introduction of robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB), cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS), and rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE). These advancements have greatly improved the precision of diagnosing high-risk PPLs. This report presents the case of a 60-year-old female smoker with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and extensive centrilobular emphysema, who had a peripherally located high-risk pulmonary nodule. She was successfully diagnosed with metastatic adenocarcinoma using an integrated approach, despite the challenging location of the lesion and high risk of pneumothorax. The integration of RAB with CBCT and augmented fluoroscopy offers a groundbreaking approach for diagnosing and managing difficult-to-reach, high-risk pulmonary nodules, marking a significant stride in the field of interventional pulmonology.
