A Case of Pulmonary Bulla Volume Reduction by Transbronchial Puncture Under Electromagnetic Navigation Platform Combined With O-Arm CT Guidance.
Article in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2025. 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
Pulmonary bullae are a common complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but treatment options are limited for patients with poor lung function and giant emphysematous bullae (GEB). We reported a case of a 61-year-old female with severe COPD complicated by a newly developed GEB. Using electromagnetic navigation technology, we precisely located and targeted the bronchi adjacent to the bullae within the lung. Guided by O-arm CT imaging, we punctured the bullae with a biopsy needle, evacuated the air, and administered autologous blood and thrombin. A follow-up pulmonary CT scan three days post-procedure revealed a significant reduction in the size of the giant bulla. Additionally, the patient's wheezing symptoms improved, and her performance on the 6-minute walk test showed some enhancement.
