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

objectivePulsatile intra-osseous pressures result in bone remodeling, and therefore may affect lesion growth and response to treatment. However, there is no known method used to measure intra-osseous pressures. The purpose of this study is to describe a novel image-guided technique for measuring intra-osseous pressures. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study was IRB-approved and HIPAA compliant. Written informed consent was obtained. Intra-osseous pressure measurements were performed during a CT-guided bone marrow biopsy in eight patients (6 male, 2 female) with mean age 66 ± 13 years (median 72, range 45-87) and suspected or known bone marrow disease. Bone marrow pressure measurements were obtained connecting the biopsy needle to a dedicated monitor using a standard arterial line setup. Monitor data was collected at 5-s intervals in order to record continuous pressure measurements for 2 min.

resultsPressure measurements were successfully performed in all 8 patients. The mean bone marrow pressures were 36.8 ± 7.2 mmHg (median 37.7, range 24.7-47.4). The peak and trough pressures varied by 11%, and the standard deviation of mean pressure measurement varied by 18%. Our findings for marrow pressure measures most closely approximate the pressure profile of the venous system.

conclusionWe describe a novel and minimally invasive technique able to provide functional data of bone marrow. This technique has the potential to provide insights into normal and diseased bone marrow and may be helpful to evaluate features of cystic and vascular tumors that may be amenable to percutaneous treatments.
