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
backgroundEndobronchial ultrasonography-assisted transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive technique that is used in the diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of EBUS-TBNA in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.
methodsThe study included 42 patients who underwent EBUS-TBNA because of suspected sarcoidosis (Grade I and II) on pulmonary radiography and thorax tomography. A total of 104 lymph node stations were sampled from 42 patients.
resultsA diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made histologically in 38 of the 42 patients from whom lymph node sampling was performed with EBUS-TBNA.
conclusionEBUS-TBNA was seen to be an extremely successful method in the diagnosis of Grade I and Grade II sarcoidosis. Therefore, EBUS-TBNA should be considered first in the histopathological diagnosis of Grade I and Grade II sarcoidosis.
