Transbronchial Cryoablation as Local Treatment for Central Airway Malignant Tumor.
Article in Respiration; international review of thoracic diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionTransbronchial cryoablation has been performed for peripheral but not central airway malignant tumor. We demonstrate transbronchial cryoablation in 2 patients with central airway lesions. CASE PRESENTATION: Case 1 was an 86-year-old woman who developed intratracheal metastasis associated with postoperative recurrence of lung adenocarcinoma. The tumor was resected using a high-frequency electrosurgical snare and three transbronchial cryoablations. There was no tracheal recurrence in the 5 months after the third procedure. Case 2 was an 83-year-old man who developed intermediate bronchial metastasis associated with postoperative recurrence of lung squamous cell carcinoma. The tumor was resected using a high-frequency electrosurgical snare and one transbronchial cryoablation. There was no tumor recurrence in the bronchus intermedius for 12 months after treatment. In both cases, the only adverse event was minor bleeding.
conclusionTransbronchial cryoablation deserves consideration as local treatment for central airway malignant tumors.
