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

Navigational bronchoscopy and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) guided bronchoscopy show comparable yields to percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy of lung nodules. Robotic assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) with advanced imaging (CBCT or digital tomosynthesis) improves diagnostic yield further. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided nodal cryobiopsy shows promise in certain clinical conditions. The thin EBUS convex probe (EBUS-CP) bronchoscope is on the horizon and has the potential to be the answer for the middle third. Guidelines and expert recommendations are sometimes needed where larger trial evidence may be lacking. Artificial intelligence is still finding its place in practice but shows promise for education and training.
