Differentiating vacuum-assisted breast biopsy from core needle biopsy: Is it necessary?
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Needle biopsy has replaced excisional biopsy as a definitive diagnostic technique for breast tumours, although excisional biopsy is still used for complete tumour removal for therapeutic and/or diagnostic purposes. Many vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VAB) systems have been made available by several manufacturers since the release of the Mammotome (MMT) by Johnson & Johnson in 1995. Several recent discussions have been conducted to identify whether core needle biopsy (CNB) or VAB, is more appropriate. However, currently available VAB systems differ from the conventional system (i.e. articulate arm type 11-gauge(G) MMT), and the characteristics of both CNB and VAB have been improved. In CNB, a 14-G needle is frequently used to obtain a larger sample. By contrast, VAB is considered easier to perform because it uses a thinner needle and a lighter, non-tethered system. When differentiating CNB from VAB, the type of VAB should also be defined. In this review, we discuss the characteristics of ultrasonography-guided VAB and CNB with a focus on practical issues such as the number of samples and volume of tissue obtained during ultrasonography-guided needle biopsy.
