CT-guided needle biopsy performed with modified coaxial technique in the diagnosis of malignant lymphomas.

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
purposeThe aim of was study was to evaluate the accuracy of computed tomography (CT)-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) performed by modified coaxial technique as an alternative tool to surgical biopsy in patients with suspected malignant lymphoma. MATERIALS AND
methodsBetween May 2005 and December 2008, 67 CT-guided CNB of deep lesions were performed on 64 patients with suspected malignant lymphoma. In 19 out of 64 patients (29.7%), recurrent lymphoma was suspected. A modified coaxial technique was used in all cases, and multiple samples were obtained for histological and immunohistochemical studies.
resultsA diagnosis of malignant lymphomas with specification of subtype according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification was established in 41/67 cases. Other malignant neoplasms were found in 13/67, lymphoma without subtype specification was diagnosed in 7/67, whereas no conclusive diagnosis could be established in 6/67 cases. Overall diagnostic accuracy was 80.1%. In patients with a final diagnosis of malignant lymphoma, accuracy was 75.9%. No complications occurred.
conclusionsPercutaneous CT-guided CNB is a safe, effective and reliable tool in the management of lymphomas in patients without superficial lymphadenopathy and can be considered an alternative approach to surgical sampling. The modified coaxial technique represents an effective tool that has a good diagnostic accuracy value with a low complication rate.
