A Case of Post-Endobronchial Ultrasound Polymicrobial Pericarditis and Mediastinitis in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Introduction: Endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a frequently used bronchoscopic method for sampling centrally located tumors and accessible mediastinal lymph nodes. It is widely employed for staging and obtaining tissue diagnosis in lung cancer, but it can also be used for other conditions with mediastinal lymph node metastases. Although the reported complication rate for EBUS-TBNA varies, it consistently remains low, including for severe infectious complications such as pericarditis and mediastinitis. Case Presentation: We present a unique case of polymicrobial pyogenic pericarditis, mediastinitis, and death in a patient who underwent EBUS-TBNA for the evaluation of solitary mediastinal lymphadenopathy in the background of previously resected renal cell carcinoma. There were no complications during her procedure and her mediastinal lymph node biopsy confirmed metastatic renal cell carcinoma. However, 23 days after her procedure, she presented to the emergency department with sepsis and cardiac tamponade. Pericardial fluid cultures and computed tomography imaging confirmed polymicrobial pyogenic pericarditis and mediastinitis. Conclusion: While complications from EBUS-TBNA are rare, clinicians need to be aware that pericarditis and mediastinitis are possible life-threatening complications in order to facilitate early recognition and interventions.
