Cone Beam Computed Tomography-Guided Navigation Bronchoscopy with Augmented Fluoroscopy for the Diagnosis of Peripheral Pulmonary Nodules: A Step-by-Step Guide.

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
introductionCone beam computed tomography-guided navigation bronchoscopy (CBCT-NB) with augmented fluoroscopy (AF) guidance represents a minimally invasive endobronchial technique for diagnosing small, peripheral pulmonary lesions. This approach is characterized by its high diagnostic accuracy and low complication risk. Current pilot trials are exploring the application of localized therapies using this innovative approach. This report aims to provide a detailed procedural guide for performing CBCT-NB with AF guidance as the only tool for navigation and image guided biopsy.
methodsWe outline the procedural steps involved in the CBCT-NB procedure for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions, supported by specific intra-procedural clinical video footage. The steps include (1) preprocedural considerations, (2) a detailed procedural workflow encompassing navigation to the target lesion, (3) position confirmation and tissue acquisition, and (4) postprocedural follow-up.
conclusionCBCT-NB with AF guidance is a safe and precise stand-alone navigation modality that offers high-resolution real-time 3D imaging, enhancing the diagnosis and potential treatment of peripheral pulmonary nodules.
