Paediatric bone lesions: diagnostic accuracy of imaging correlation and CT-guided needle biopsy for differentiating benign from malignant lesions.

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 determine the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CT-guided needle biopsy (CT-NB) for distinguishing benign and malignant lesions in children with suspected primary bone tumours, and to assess the correlation between imaging diagnosis and final diagnosis.
methodsRetrospective review of children who underwent CT-NB of a suspected primary bone tumour between October 2016 and October 2019. Data collected included anatomical location, imaging diagnosis, type of needle, type of biopsy sample, CT-NB diagnosis, final diagnosis and post-procedural complications. The final diagnosis was established based on surgical histology or clinical/imaging follow-up.
results125 patients met the inclusion criteria (68M, 57F: mean age 11 years; range 10 months-18 years). Biopsy was performed using a 10 cm Jamshidi needle (10G
conclusionCT-NB represents a safe and very effective tool for differentiating benign and malignant lesions in children presenting with a suspected primary bone tumour. Suspected radiological diagnosis plays a pivotal role in the management of indeterminate biopsy results. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Paediatric bone tumours pose a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The interpretation of the imaging findings is essential for the successful management of indeterminate histological results.
