Computed tomography-guided percutaneous biopsy of abdominal lesions: indications, techniques, results, and complications.
Article in Radiologia brasileira. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 the performance of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous biopsy of abdominal lesions. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective, single-center study evaluated patients submitted to CT-guided percutaneous biopsy of abdominal lesions at a cancer center, between January 2014 and June 2015. The images and patient medical records were reviewed using a standardized data collection form.
resultsWe included 225 procedures performed in 212 patients, of whom 143 (63.5%) had a prior diagnosis of cancer. Of the 225 lesions biopsied, 88 (39.1%) had a suspected primary origin and 137 (60.9%) were suspected metastatic lesions. Complications occurred in only 14 (6.2%), the most common being self-limited bleeding, which occurred in 12 (85.7%) of the 14. The occurrence of complications was not found to be significantly associated with the lesion location, age of the patient, presence of comorbidities, use of a supplementary technique, vascularization pattern, or proximity of the lesion to large vessels. The pathology findings were sufficient for making the diagnosis in 202 cases (89.8%), and the diagnosis was consistent with the clinical suspicion in 132 (58.6%).
conclusionThe procedure demonstrated a high (approximately 90%) rate of providing a sufficient sample for the diagnosis and a low complication rate, the most common complication being self-limiting bleeding.
