Transbronchial Cryoablation for Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer of the Central Airway Complicated by Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Interstitial lung disease presents significant challenges in managing early-stage non-small cell lung cancer due to the high risk of acute exacerbation with standard therapies. We report the case of an 82-year-old man with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and central airway squamous cell carcinoma who was treated with transbronchial cryoablation. The procedure was completed without major complications, and no tumour recurrence was observed over an 11-month follow-up. This case highlights the potential of transbronchial cryoablation as a feasible local treatment option for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, offering a safer alternative to surgery or radiation therapy.
