A Novel Dual-Scope Method for Safe Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Mediastinal Cryobiopsy.

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
Conventional endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy (EBUS-TBMC) requires simultaneous withdrawal of the EBUS scope and cryoprobe to retrieve the specimen. This process complicates immediate haemostasis and frequently requires cumbersome intubation to ensure procedural safety. As airway haemorrhage can be fatal, a prompt response must always be ensured despite its rare occurrence. We have developed a novel dual-scope method for EBUS-TBMC. This technique involves the simultaneous transoral insertion of a thin bronchoscope for haemostasis alongside the EBUS scope for cryobiopsy without intubation. Immediate haemostasis under real-time visualisation was performed using a thin bronchoscope remaining in the airway after withdrawal of the EBUS scope. This approach eliminates the 'blind time' experienced in conventional methods, significantly enhancing overall procedural safety. Herein, we report a case of methotrexate-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (malignant lymphoma) that was successfully diagnosed using the dual-scope method.
