Clinical application of ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy with multiple punches in the diagnosis of lymphoma.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundThe purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility, accuracy, and limitations of ultrasound (US)-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) with multiple punches in the diagnosis of lymphoma in the whole body.
methodsFrom March 2007 to October 2013, US-guided CNB with multiple punches was performed by well-experienced radiologists in 110 patients (CNB group), and surgical biopsy was carried out in 95 patients (surgical group). The differences of accuracy rate between the two groups in the diagnosis of lymphoma and its subtypes were examined with Fisher's exact test.
resultsThere were no statistical differences between the CNB group and the surgical group in the diagnostic accuracy rate of lymphoma, as well as its subtypes in superficial and deep masses. In addition, in the CNB group, there were no statistical differences between different lengths of lesions in the diagnosis accuracy rate of lymphoma and its subtypes.
conclusionsUS-guided CNB with no less than three punches is an accurate, safe, minimally invasive, non-radiological, fast, and cost-effective method in the evaluation of lymphoma and its subtypes as compared with surgical approach. It should be considered as the acceptable alternative to surgical biopsy to obtain histopathological samples in the patients with suspected lymphoma.
