The tactics and technique of musculoskeletal biopsy.
Review in EFORT open reviews, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
The treatment of musculoskeletal neoplasms and infection is usually based on an initial diagnostic biopsy.Prior to biopsy, a hypothesis should be formed about the most likely diagnosis and a differential diagnosis. These deliberations should consider whether the lesion is a primary benign or malignant tumour, a metastasis, a haematological problem or an infection.A tactical plan should be developed which evaluates the necessity, the risk, the approach and finally defines the technique of biopsy most likely to achieve a representative result in the clinical case.In developing this technical approach, the pitfalls should be anticipated, i.e. inadequate sampling, difficulty of pathological interpretation and contamination.The tactical approach should be developed in conjunction with a multi-disciplinary team together with appropriate pre-biopsy imaging.
