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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThe prevalence of lung cancer in patients with a peripheral pulmonary nodule referred for navigation bronchoscopy (NB) is high. Combining NB with a systematic EBUS for staging is common practice. We investigated the added value of performing EBUS in the population referred for NB in relation to the available pre-procedural [

methodsThis single-center study evaluated all consecutive patients who underwent an NB in an academic referral center. [

resultsIn total, 403 patients were included for analysis of which 327 underwent EBUS (81.1%). In 138/403 patients (35%) who had positive lymph nodes on [

conclusionsIn patients with peripheral pulmonary nodules referred for NB, EBUS may be safely omitted when [
