1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundDifferences between virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) systems and their impacts on the diagnostic yield of transbronchial biopsy (TBB) of peripheral pulmonary nodules (PPNs) remain unclear.

objectivesTo compare the Synapse 3D system (Version 4.4, Fujifilm, Japan) and DirectPath system (Version 2.0, Olympus, Japan) in the VBN application of PPNs.

designRetrospective study with self-paired design and exploratory study with retrospective cohort design.

methodsThe study analyzed patients with PPNs using the Synapse 3D system (Group S) and DirectPath system (Group D) and compared differences between the two groups in bronchial tree reconstruction, navigation pathway planning, and VBN-assisted TBB of PPNs.

resultsIn all, 289 patients were analyzed ultimately. Bronchial tree reconstruction quality was better in Group S (

conclusionSynapse 3D system (Version 4.4) and DirectPath system (Version 2.0) had their own merits. Localization success rate and diagnostic yield of VBN-assisted TBB were of no statistical difference for these two VBN systems. Improvements in segmentation algorithms of VBN systems and using the most suitable chest CT scan data for them may be the breakthrough to improve the efficiency of VBN, especially for poor experienced interventional physicians.
