Cone-Beam CT Virtual Navigation-Guided Percutaneous Needle Biopsy of Suspicious Pleural Metastasis: A Pilot Study.
Article in Korean journal of radiology. 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
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) virtual navigation-guided percutaneous pleural biopsy for suspected malignant pleural disease. Materials and Methods: This study enrolled 59 patients (31 males and 28 females; mean age, 63.4 years) with suspected malignant pleural disease diagnosed with CBCT from December 2010 to December 2016. Sixty-three CBCT-guided biopsies were performed using a coaxial system with 18- or 20-gauge cutting needles. Procedural details, diagnostic performance, radiation exposure, and complication rates were investigated. Results: The mean diameter perpendicular to the pleura of 51 focal and 12 diffuse pleural lesions was 1.53 ± 0.76 cm. The mean distance from the skin to the target was 3.40 ± 1.51 cm. Mean numbers of CT acquisitions and biopsies were 3.21 ± 0.57 and 3.05 ± 1.54. Total procedure time and coaxial introducer indwelling time were 11.87 ± 5.59 min and 8.78 ± 4.95 min, respectively. The mean dose area product was 12013.61 ± 7969.59 mGym Conclusion: Cone-beam computed tomography-guided biopsy is an accurate and safe diagnostic technique for suspected malignant pleural lesion with reasonable radiation exposure and procedure time.
