Percutaneous bone biopsy using a flat-panel cone beam computed tomography virtual navigation system.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo assess the clinical role of flat-panel cone beam CT (CBCT) in performing percutaneous needle biopsy (PNB) of bone lesions. Flat-panel cone beam CT systems have been used as a guidance tool for performing percutaneous biopsy. Real-time fluoroscopy and virtual navigation systems help simplify needle path planning and shorten procedure times.
methodsFrom March 2012 to March 2016, 80 patients with 80 bone lesions were retrospectively enrolled in the study in Zhengzhou city of China. Technical success, diagnostic accuracy, puncture performance, procedure time, complications, and effective radiation exposure were calculated.
resultsAll biopsies were technically successful (100%). Sufficient tissue for histopathological analysis was obtained in 75 of 80 cases. The sensitivity of PNB of bone lesions was 95.5%, the specificity was 83.3%, and accuracy was 93.7%. The mean scoring of puncture performance was 3.9 ± 1.3. The mean total procedure time was 13.20 ± 4.4 min, resulting in a mean exposure dose of 11.3 ± 5.1 mSv. The complication rate was 8.7%.
conclusionPercutaneous bone biopsy using CBCT is a safe and effective method that simplifies needle path planning and shortens procedure times.
