Single Anesthetic Approach to Diagnosis, Staging and Treatment of Lung Cancer.
Review in Cancers, 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 conventional workup for suspected early-stage lung cancer requires multiple visits, anesthetics, and procedures. Single anesthetic event lung cancer surgery integrates shape-sensing robotic bronchoscopy, cone-beam CT, rapid on-site cytologic evaluation (ROSE), endobronchial ultrasound staging, lesion localization, and minimally invasive resection into one operative encounter. In this narrative review, we describe the technical components of this pathway, summarize the supporting literature, and offer expert, institution-based troubleshooting guidance for common intraoperative dilemmas. Reported diagnostic yields for shape-sensing robotic bronchoscopy range from 80 to 96%, with approximately 90% concordance between ROSE and final pathology. Published single-institution series report reductions in time from detection to resection of 15-51 days, cost savings of approximately $3000-$10,000, and perioperative outcomes (length of stay 1.8-3.6 days; complication rates comparable to traditional pathways) similar to staged care. The supporting evidence is retrospective and derived from small, single-institution, high-volume referral cohorts; no prospective comparative trials or long-term survival data yet exist. Single anesthetic event lung cancer surgery is therefore best regarded as an emerging, resource-intensive care pathway for carefully selected patients at experienced centers rather than an established standard of care, pending prospective, multicenter validation.
