Diagnostic accuracy and complications of CT-guided core needle lung biopsy of solid and part-solid lesions.

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
objectiveTo evaluate whether diagnostic accuracy and complications of CT-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) differ for solid and part-solid lung lesions Methods: This retrospective study included 354 consecutive patients from April 2012 to July 2016 who underwent CT-guided CNB of lung lesions by a radiologist. Patient demographics, lung lesions' characteristics; solid or part-solid, underlying pulmonary disease, distance of path, procedure time, complications (hemorrhage or pneumothorax), histopathological results of biopsy specimens and final diagnosis were reviewed. The diagnostic yields, biopsy-related factors and complications were compared for patients with solid lesions and patients with part-solid lesions. Factors related to true diagnoses and complications were analyzed statistically.
resultsThe biopsies of part-solid lesions take more time (p = 0.021). Non-diagnostic biopsies were not statistically different between solid and part-solid lesions (p = 0.804). There was no significant difference in the diagnostic yields including sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for solid and part-solid lesions statistically. The occurrence of hemorrhage on postbiopy follow-up CT was significantly higher (p = 0.016) for part-solid lesions. The occurrence of symptomatic major hemorrhage (p = 0.859) and pneumothorax (p = 0.106) was not significantly different between solid and part-solid lesions.
conclusionThe diagnostic accuracy of CT-guided CNB for diagnosing malignancy was comparable for solid and part-solid lesions. The frequency of hemorrhage on the follow up CT was higher in patients with part-solid lesions, but there were no significant differences in major hemorrhage and pneumothorax for solid and part-solid lesions. Advances in knowledge: The diagnostic yield of CT-guided CNB for diagnosing malignancy is comparable for solid and part-solid lesions. Although the post procedural hemorrhage occurs more frequently in part-solid lesions, the occurrence of symptomatic major hemorrhage is not significantly different. Therefore, CT-guided CNB should be considered for histopathological confirmation of intrapulmonary lesions regardless of the presence of ground-glass opacity portion.
