Lost in Navigation: A Simplified CT-Based Airway Mapping Method for Ultrathin Navigational Bronchoscopy.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 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
Accurate navigation within the bronchial tree is essential for successful bronchoscopic sampling of peripheral pulmonary lesions. It fundamentally comprises a series of di/trichotomous decisions as the bronchoscope is advanced through sequential airway generations. This letter describes a simplified, pen-and-paper method for bronchial branch tracing that minimizes distracting complexity and streamlines airway mapping into reproducible steps that can be rapidly performed with reference to pre-procedural CT images. By anchoring navigation in anatomical recognition and spatial awareness, this technique offers both a reliable primary strategy and a dependable fallback option for bronchoscopists seeking clarity and confidence in the procedural suite.
