1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 goal of this study is to determine the feasibility, diagnostic accuracy, and risk factor of complications of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous cutting needle biopsy (PCNB) for small lung nodules.From January 2014 to May 2015, 141 patients with small lung nodule were performed with CT-guided PCNB procedure. Data on technical success, diagnostic accuracy, and complication were collected and analyzed.Technical success of CT-guided PCNB for small lung nodules was 100%. A total of 141 nodules were punctured. The mean time of the procedure was 15.7 ± 4.3 minutes. The PCNB results included malignancy (n = 79), suspected malignancy (n = 6), specific benign lesion (n = 8), nonspecific benign lesion (n = 47), and invalid diagnosis (n = 1). The final diagnosis of the 141 nodules included malignancy (n = 90), benign (n = 37), and nondiagnostic lesion (n = 14). The nondiagnostic nodules were not included for calculating the diagnostic accuracy. The sensitivity, specificity, and overall diagnostic accuracy of CT-guided PCNB for small lung nodule were 94.4% (85/90), 100% (37/37), and 96.1% (122/127), respectively. Pneumothorax and lung hemorrhage (≥ grade 2) occurred in 17 (12.1%) and 22 (15.6%) patients, respectively. Based on the univariate and multivariate logistic analyses, the risk factors of pneumothorax included nonprone position (P = .019) and longer procedure time (P = .018). The independent risk factor of lung hemorrhage (≥ grade 2) was deeper lesion distance from pleura along needle path (P = .024).This study demonstrates that CT-guided PCNB can provide a high diagnostic accuracy for small lung nodule with acceptable complications.
