Intravascular Pulmonary Artery Tumour Mimicking Nodal Recurrence and Inadvertently Sampled by EBUS-TBNA: A Case Report.
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
Pulmonary artery tumours are rare and may mimic thromboembolism or nodal recurrence on imaging. We report a woman in her 70s with a history of resected stage IB lung adenocarcinoma who underwent endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for a mediastinal lesion suspected to be nodal recurrence. During the second needle pass, synchronous lesion movement and increased bleeding were observed. Histopathology revealed high-grade sarcomatous cells with weak focal thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) positivity and h-caldesmon/myogenin expression, unlike the primary adenocarcinoma. Subsequent imaging confirmed that the lesion was intravascular within the pulmonary artery. EBUS-TBNA may inadvertently sample a pulmonary artery tumour when it mimics nodal recurrence during post-resection surveillance. Synchronous lesion movement and unexpected bleeding may indicate pulmonary artery puncture. Sarcomatoid transformation of adenocarcinoma and primary intimal sarcoma remained competing diagnoses because tissue was insufficient for molecular confirmation.
