Cryobiopsy as a Diagnostic Tool in Lung Transplantation: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 transplantation is an option for patients with advanced lung pathologies. Transbronchial biopsies are routinely conducted during the first year to manage acute rejection episodes, with chronic rejection, particularly bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, becoming a significant concern thereafter. A 34-year-old patient with a diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia was admitted to the emergency room due to a severe exacerbation that caused mixed respiratory failure. He required intubation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support as a bridge to bilateral lung transplantation. Post-transplantation, cryobiopsy was implemented according to local protocol, revealing A3 rejection without microbiological isolations. The implementation of cryobiopsy in lung transplantation proves to be an effective diagnostic strategy, offering enhanced tissue evaluation and improved diagnostic performance in both acute and chronic cellular rejection.
