Minimally Invasive Sampling Techniques for Pancreatic and Pulmonary Nodules: A Review of the Evolution of Guidance and Sampling Methods.
Review in Diagnostic cytopathology, 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
Tissue biopsy is frequently required in the workup of newly discovered nodules and masses detected by palpation, visual inspection, or imaging. Biopsy techniques include open surgical biopsy, core needle biopsy, fine-needle biopsy (FNB), fine-needle aspiration (FNA), and cryobiopsy. The last four techniques are utilized because of their minimally invasive nature and low patient morbidity. While FNA and FNB are often utilized at a number of body sites, cryobiopsy is becoming the dominant method for sampling of lung nodules. In this review, the authors investigate the utility, advantages, disadvantages, and diagnostic accuracy of minimally invasive biopsy techniques for lesions of the pancreas and lung.
