EBUS guided trans-esophgeal cryobiopsy-two case reports.

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
abstractEndobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided mediastinal cryobiopsy is a novel technique which can be combined with EBUS -TBNA to improve the diagnostic yield. Recent studies report, this technique is safe and superior to EBUS TBNA alone in terms of acquisition of larger tissue samples and thereby a better diagnostic yield and adequacy of tissue for molecular studies. However, safety of this technique in patients do not tolerate a bronchoscopic procedure due to hypoxia or respiratory distress is not clarified yet. Alternatively, EBUS guided FNA via trans-esophageal route(EUS-B-FNA) is a proven technique with a similar diagnostic yield as EBUS TBNA with a better tolerance and a more patient comfort. We report two patients here, in whom EUS- B guided cryobiopsy was successfully done via trans-esophageal route, due to intolerance for bronchoscopic procedure and inconclusive ROSE reports.
