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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the clinical value of an electromagnetic navigation system for CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy of peripheral lung lesions.

methodsThis was a retrospective study. Patients with peripheral lung lesions in our institution between January 2019 and December 2020, who underwent lung biopsy assisted by the electromagnetic navigation system were included in Group A, and those who underwent lung biopsy using conventional CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy were included in Group B. The general features and clinical and technical information of each patient were collected and evaluated in both groups.

resultsA total of 141 patients were included in Group A (78 males and 63 females; median age, 65 years; range, 32-79 years), and 96 patients were included in group B (57 males and 39 females; median age, 65 years; range, 34-80 years). The technical success rate was 100% in both groups. The technical efficacy rate was 92.9% and 90.6% in Groups A and B (P=0.525), respectively. There was no significant difference in surgical time and the number of CT scans between the two groups, and only grade 1-2 complications occurred in the patients.

conclusionsThe electromagnetic navigation system is an effective and safe auxiliary tool for CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy of peripheral lung lesions.
