Improving Shape-Sensing Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy Outcomes with Mobile Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Guidance.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundComputed tomography to body divergence (CTBD) is one of the main barriers to bronchoscopic techniques for the diagnosis of peripherally located lung nodules. Cone-beam CT (CBCT) guidance is being rapidly adopted to correct for this phenomenon and to potentially increase diagnostic outcomes. In this trial, we hypothesized that the addition of mobile CBCT (m-CBCT) could improve the rate of tool in lesion (TIL) and the diagnostic yield of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (SS-RAB).
methodsThis was a prospective, single-arm study, which enrolled patients with peripheral lung nodules of 1-3 cm and compared the rate of TIL and the diagnostic yield of SS-RAB alone and combined with mCBCT.
resultsA total of 67 subjects were enrolled, the median nodule size was 1.7 cm (range, 0.9-3 cm). TIL was achieved in 23 patients (34.3%) with SS-RAB alone, and 66 patients (98.6%) with the addition of mCBCT (
conclusionsThe addition of mCBCT guidance to SS-RAB allows bronchoscopists to compensate for CTBD, leading to an increase in TIL and diagnostic yield, with acceptable radiation exposure.
