State of the art: peripheral diagnostic bronchoscopy.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 is the leading cause of cancer related death worldwide and in the United States according to the World Health Organization and National Cancer Institute. Improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer are of the utmost importance. A prompt diagnosis is a crucial factor to improve outcomes in the treatment of lung cancer. Although the implementation of lung cancer screening guidelines and the overall steady growth in the use of computed tomography have improved the likelihood of detecting lung cancer at an earlier stage, the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) has remained a challenge. The bronchoscopic techniques for PPL sampling have historically offered modest diagnostic yields at best in comparison to computed tomography guided transthoracic needle aspiration (TTNA). Fortunately, recent advances in technology have ushered in a new era of diagnostic peripheral bronchoscopy. In this review, we discuss the introduction of advanced intraprocedural imaging included digital tomosynthesis (DT), augmented fluoroscopy (AF), and cone beam computed tomography. We discuss robotic assisted bronchoscopy with a review of the currently available platforms, and we discuss the implementation of novel biopsy tools. These technologic advances in the bronchoscopic approach to PPLs offer greater diagnostic certainty and pave the way toward peripheral therapeutics in bronchoscopy.
