Clinico-Radio-Histopathological Correlation by C-Arm Image-Guided Biopsy in Spinal Tuberculosis.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
background/purpose of the studyC-arm-guided biopsy is a safe and effective technique for evaluating TB spine and is useful in planning therapy. The purpose of this study was to find a correlation between clinically and radiologically suspected TB spine and C-arm image-guided biopsy-proven cases and to study the complications encountered.
methodsAfter evaluating the clinical, laboratory, X-ray and MRI findings, 92 patients with provisionally diagnosed tubercular spine were subjected to C-arm image-guided biopsy.
resultsAmong our 92 cases, histopathology was positive in 55 cases (59.78%). Out of these 55 histologically positive cases, CBNAAT was positive in 42 cases and negative in the rest 13 cases. Overall, among the 92 cases, CBNAAT was positive in 51(55.43%) of cases, and out of these, histopathology turned out to be positive in 42 of cases. Out of 41 cases with negative CBNAAT, histopathology was suggestive of tuberculosis in 13. The strength of agreement between CBNAAT and histopathology was statistically significant (
conclusionC-arm image-guided biopsy is reasonably accurate and should be used as a tool for diagnosis of TB spine. We recommend histopathological examination as a key component for the diagnosis of TB spine, as it is precise and consumes relatively shorter time. CBNAAT is more rapid but is not a substitute for histopathology for spine TB diagnosis.
