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

backgroundPleural reaction (PR) frequently occurs following computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle biopsy (CT-TNB). The purpose of this study was to establish a predictive model for PR following CT-TNB.

methodsIn this study, a total of 436 patients who underwent CT-TNB between June 2016 and December 2017 at a tertiary hospital were consecutively included. Patient demographics, lesion features, laboratory tests, and biopsy parameters were collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to establish a prediction model for post-CT-TNB PR, presented by a nomogram. Discrimination and calibration were assessed. For internal validation, a bootstrap resampling method was applied, and decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate its clinical utility.

resultsPR occurred in 7.8% (34/436) of patients. Four non-zero coefficient variables (gender, age, lesion location, and puncture position) were filtered by LASSO regression analysis and were used to establish a predictive model. The area under the curve in the derivation and validation was 0.840 (95% CI, 0.767-0.913) and 0.841 (95% CI, 0.769-0.912), respectively. The model was well-calibrated (P>0.05), and DCA indicated clinical efficacy.

conclusionsIn this study, we established a nomogram, including as parameters gender, age, lesion location, and puncture position, which may have great significance for individualized prediction of post-CT-TNB PR.
