Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy-advancing lung cancer management.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
The incidental discovery of early-stage, multifocal lung cancer is transforming the medical landscape. Diagnosing and treating such lesions are often troublesome due to their small size, subsolid consistency, and multifocal nature. This has led to the development of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy, which enhanced the ease of navigation and improved localization accuracy during diagnostic procedures. Moreover, it opens the door for intricate transbronchial therapeutic procedures thanks to the superior navigational precision. To further automate navigation and increase maneuverability, robotic-assisted bronchoscopy was developed in recent years, where the robotic arms allow a high level of control and stability of the bronchoscope. Recent evidence has shown that the maneuverability, steadiness, and localization accuracy offered by robotic-assisted bronchoscopy systems with the navigation system allow operators to navigate narrower airways and perform complex interventions with great precision. This review illustrates the development, advantages, and applications of various robotic bronchoscopy systems with the latest evidence. We explore the promising future of robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, where such procedures are anticipated to play an essential role in the multidisciplinary management pathway.
