Distal Bronchopleural Fistula Closure With Robotic Bronchoscopy.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The inability to access distal bronchopleural fistulas with standard bronchoscopes limits the use of endobronchial occlusion techniques. A 43-year-old woman experienced fatigue and cough 1 month after a left lower lobectomy. A chest roentgenogram revealed a new air-fluid level concerning for a bronchopleural fistula. Robotic navigational bronchoscopy identified a small (∼2 mm) opening on the bronchial stump. The fistula was closed by injecting embolic sealant and endovascular coils. Robotic navigational bronchoscopy is an effective tool for localizing distal bronchopleural fistulas, thus allowing for minimally invasive closure techniques.
