Image-Guided Biopsy for Relapsed Neuroblastoma: Focus on Safety, Adequacy for Genetic Sequencing, and Correlation of Tumor Cell Percent With Quantitative Lesion MIBG Uptake.
Article in JCO precision oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeMany novel therapies for relapsed and refractory neuroblastoma require tumor tissue for genomic sequencing. We analyze our experience with image-guided biopsy in these patients, focusing on safety, yield, adequacy for next-generation sequencing (NGS), and correlation of tumor cell percent (TC%) with quantitative uptake on MATERIALS AND
methodsAn 11-year retrospective review of image-guided biopsy on 66 patients (30 female), with a median age of 8.7 years (range, 0.9-49 years), who underwent 95 biopsies (55 bone and 40 soft tissue) of relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma lesions was performed.
resultsThere were seven minor complications (7%) and one major complication (1%). Neuroblastoma was detected in 88% of MIBG- or fluorodeoxyglucose-avid foci. The overall NGS adequacy was 69% (64% in bone and 74% in soft tissue,
conclusionImage-guided biopsy for relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma was safe and likely to provide NGS data to guide therapy decisions. A lesion:liver MIBG uptake ratio of ≥ 3 or a lesion:psoas ratio of > 9 was associated with a TC% sufficient to deliver NGS results.
