1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeWe aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ultrasonography (US) guided core needle biopsy (CNB) with hydrodissection to diagnose small lymph node metastases adjacent to cervical large vessels.

methodsFrom January 2013 to October 2017, 31 patients with 31 cervical lymph node metastases adjacent to large vessels presented for US-guided CNB. The mean maximal diameter of lymph nodes was 0.93±0.16 cm (range, 0.6-1.2 cm). All patients underwent US-guided CNB with 18-gauge true-cut biopsy needle after hydrodissection with saline. The separation success rate (SSR) of the hydrodissection, technical success rate (TSR) of CNB, histopathologic success rate (HST), and complications were assessed.

resultsThe SSR of hydrodissection was 100% (31/31). After effective separation between the lymph node metastases and the adjacent large vessels with saline injection, the procedures of CNB were performed with a TSR of 100% (31/31). The HST of the lymph node metastases was 100% (31/31). Two patients complained of mild cervical swelling sensation during saline injection. No major complications such as injury of the large vessels or massive hemorrhage occurred.

conclusionHydrodissection can facilitate safely and effectively US-guided CNB of subcentimeter cervical lymph nodes adjacent to large vessels, potentially impacting further therapeutic decisions.
