Diagnosis of Synchronous Primary Lung Cancers Using EBUS-TBNA and BDBD-Assisted Transbronchial Biopsy During a Single Bronchoscopic Procedure: 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
Histopathological confirmation is essential to determine the optimal treatment strategy for patients with multiple pulmonary lesions. We report a case of synchronous small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) diagnosed during the same bronchoscopic session using endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) and balloon dilation for bronchoscope delivery (BDBD) technique. A 70-year-old man with a history of gastric cancer presented with mediastinal lymphadenopathy and a nodule in the right upper lobe. EBUS-TBNA confirmed SCLC in the mediastinal lymph nodes. For the peripheral pulmonary lesion, BDBD enabled further advancement of the thin bronchoscope, allowing direct visualization and biopsy with standard forceps, which confirmed NSCLC. No procedure-related complications occurred. This case suggests that combining EBUS-TBNA with BDBD facilitates the accurate diagnosis of multiple pulmonary lesions during the same bronchoscopic session.
