Procedural times with robotic-assisted bronchoscopy: a high volume single-center study.
Observational study in Therapeutic advances in respiratory disease. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundIncidental and screen-detected pulmonary nodules are common. The increasing capabilities of advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy will increase bronchoscopists' procedural volume necessitating optimization of procedural scheduling and workflow.
objectivesThe objectives of this study were to determine total time in the procedure room, total bronchoscopy procedure time, and robotic-assisted bronchoscopy procedure time longitudinally and per specific procedure performed.
designA single-center observational study of all consecutive patients undergoing shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) biopsy procedures for the evaluation of pulmonary lesions with variable probability for malignancy.
methodsChart review to collect patient demographics, lesion characteristics, and procedural specifics. Descriptive and comparative statistics are reported.
resultsActual bronchoscopy procedure time may decrease with increased institutional experience over time, however, there is limited ability to reduce non-bronchoscopy related time within the procedure room. The use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE), and performance of staging endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in a single procedure are each associated with additional time requirements.
conclusionInstitutional procedural block times should adapt to the nature of advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy procedures to allow for the accommodation of new modalities such as RAB combined with other technologies including radial endobronchial ultrasound, CBCT, ROSE, and staging linear EBUS. Identifying institutional median procedural times may assist in scheduling and ideal block time utilization.
