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: The use of single-use flexible bronchoscopes (SUFBs) has increased tremendously as a consequence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and concerns regarding scope contamination, despite a paucity of data relating to user satisfaction and technical reviews. This study aimed to assess the performance of Boston Scientific Methods: Following ethical approval, we prospectively collected data on bronchoscopies performed with the Boston Scientific Results: From 2021 to 2024, 108 procedures were performed with the EXALT Conclusions: Our study has shown a wide range of applications, high level of user satisfaction and low rate of technical limitations with the Boston Scientific
