Isolated Mediastinal and Hilar Lymphadenopathy as a Manifestation of IgG4-Related Disease Diagnosed by EBUS-Guided Transbronchial Mediastinal Cryobiopsy.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2026. 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
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibroinflammatory condition that can involve multiple organs, including mediastinal lesions. Transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy has recently emerged as a novel sampling technique that improves diagnostic yield for mediastinal lesions, particularly in rare tumours and benign disorders, compared to endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). Here we report a case of IgG4-RD presenting with hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy successfully diagnosed by transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy using a ø1.7 mm cryoprobe. The diagnosis was established in accordance with the 2020 revised comprehensive diagnostic criteria for IgG4-RD, after exclusion of infectious and lymphoproliferative disorders. Endoscopic mediastinal cryobiopsy may represent a valuable and minimally invasive strategy for diagnosing mediastinal diseases.
