Endobronchial Lipoma Treated With Endoscopic Microwave Coagulation to Relieve Atelectasis: The First Case Report.

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
Various endobronchial therapies, as well as complete surgical resection, have recently been reported. Among them, microwave coagulation is a promising endobronchial therapy for a wide range of neoplasms due to its high efficacy and safety. Meanwhile, endobronchial lipoma is a benign tumour that is rarely observed in the lungs. To our knowledge, the efficacy of microwave coagulation has not been reported in the treatment of endobronchial lipoma. Here, we report the effectiveness of endoscopic microwave coagulation therapy in safely resolving atelectasis and cough caused by endobronchial lipoma. Surgical resection was deemed to be unsuitable in this case due to the likelihood of extensive surgery such as right lower lobectomy being required, and comorbidities including poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. There was an elevated risk of perioperative complications. This report presents a new, effective, and minimally invasive treatment option for endobronchial lipoma in endoscopic microwave coagulation to relieve atelectasis.
