EBUS-TBNA Diagnosis of a Hilar Pulmonary Hamartoma With Characteristic Ultrasound Findings.
Article in Open respiratory archives. 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
Pulmonary hamartoma is the most common benign lung tumour and is usually detected as a peripheral pulmonary lesion. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has emerged as a minimally invasive technique for mediastinal staging and diagnosis of thoracic lesions. We report the case of a 72-year-old man with an incidental right hilar lesion identified on computed tomography during follow-up after coronary surgery. Imaging revealed a partially calcified lesion with fatty density adjacent to the right main bronchus. Bronchoscopic examination showed no endobronchial abnormalities, while EBUS demonstrated a well-defined heterogeneous lesion with hyperechoic punctate areas and posterior acoustic shadowing. EBUS-TBNA was performed without complications. Cytological and cell block analysis demonstrated the diagnosis of pulmonary hamartoma. This case highlights the utility of EBUS-TBNA as a safe and effective diagnostic tool for centrally located pulmonary hamartomas.
