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

The emergent field of interventional bronchoscopy provides an alternative approach for the diagnosis and management of a range of respiratory conditions. Within malignant disease, robotic navigational bronchoscopy provides a stable platform to sample small and difficult to reach pulmonary nodules, while malignant central airway obstruction can be managed through transcopic stent insertion. A range of therapeutic modalities have been developed for benign disease, which provide alternatives to standard therapy, particularly in the context of endobronchial valves for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and bronchial thermoplasty for asthma, while transbronchial cryoexcision lung biopsy offers a non-surgical option for undiagnosed interstitial lung disease. With a rich pipeline of technology being developed through robust clinical trial processes, the field of interventional bronchoscopy will continue to grow to become an invaluable asset, not only to the field of respiratory medicine, but to the general physician.
