Contrast-enhanced computed tomography prior to percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy reduces the incidence of hemorrhage.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundHemorrhage is the second most common complication of percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB), and at present, there is no effective prevention strategy. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) has the advantage of clearly visualizing blood supply within the lesion and aiding in the imaging of blood vessels, which can reduce hemorrhage complicating PTNB. As no large-sample studies were evaluating whether CECT could reduce hemorrhage, we conducted the present retrospective study.
methodsFrom November 2011 to February 2016, 1,282 biopsies at Jinling Hospital were retrospectively reviewed; 555 underwent CECT, and 727 underwent non-contrast computed tomography (CT). Factors associated with hemorrhage were defined, and hemorrhage rates were compared between the 2 groups.
resultsWe found that pre-biopsy CECT was associated with a reduced incidence of biopsy-related hemorrhage compared to non-contrast CT (16.4%
conclusionsCompared with non-contrast CT, CECT significantly reduced the risk of post-biopsy pulmonary hemorrhage, which suggests that CECT should be performed before PTNB.
