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
Background: The diagnostic accuracy of shape-sensing robotic bronchoscopy (ssRAB) is impacted by computed tomography-to-body divergence (CTBD) due to a discrepancy between virtual and actual lesion locations. The prevalence, types, implication, and determinants of CTBD during ssRAB remain understudied. This study aimed to qualify and quantify CTBD during cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided ssRAB and identify contributing factors. Methods: This was an analysis of a prospectively curated database of patients who underwent mobile CBCT-guided ssRAB for the sampling of parenchymal lung lesions between October 2021 and June 2022. The primary outcome was the distance and vector of target displacement between the virtual preoperative CT-based and the actual intraoperative CBCT-based relationship between the tip of the ssRAB catheter and the target lesion. Results: A total of 81 lesions in 70 participants were included in the final analysis. Displacement was identified in 67% of targeted lesions. In 78% the ssRAB catheter was closer than expected (forward displacement) and an overshoot beyond the lesion occurred in 46% of displacement instances. In a multivariable logistic regression analysis, ≥7 traversed airway generations were independently associated with target lesion displacement. Despite a high level of displacement, there was no statistically significant difference in diagnostic yield rates between cases with and without displacement. Conclusions: CTBD, i.e., displacement of the actual target lesion from the virtual location, is common during navigational bronchoscopy. When targeting peripheral lesions, the catheter is more likely to be closer to the lesion or beyond it than expected based on the virtual planning. Bronchoscopists should anticipate CTBD and integrate data from various intraoperative imaging tools to attenuate its impact on sampling and avoid potential complications.
