Article in The British journal of radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and appraise the diagnostic utility of real time
methodsPET/CT-guided biopsy of thoracic lesions was performed in patients who had at least one previous inconclusive biopsy. A total of 25 patients (male:female-18 males, 7 females; age: range, 13-75; mean, 53.7) were included in this study. All these patients underwent percutaneous needle biopsies under real-time PET/CT guidance using ARA (ROBIO-EX, Perfint healthcare Pvt Ltd, Chennai, India) needle navigation technique. Histopathology and clinical follow-up results were reviewed for assessing the accuracy of procedures.
resultsAdequate representative tissue sample could be retrieved in all the patients. No major procedure-related complications were encountered in any patient. Of the 25 procedures, 21 lesions were positive for malignancy and benign findings were observed in the other 4 lesions on histopathology. None of the patients required further biopsy in arriving at a final diagnosis. Overall diagnostic yield of the procedure was 100%.
