Preventive tract embolization with gelatin sponge slurry is safe and considerably reduces pneumothorax after CT-guided lung biopsy with use of large 16-18 coaxial needles.

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 evaluate the clinical impact of the tract embolization technique using gelatin sponge slurry after percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy.
methodsWe retrospectively compared coaxial needle CT-guided lung biopsies performed without embolization (100 patients) and with the tract embolization technique using a mixture of iodine and gelatin sponge slurry (105 patients) between June 2012 and July 2020. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed between groups to determine risk factors of pneumothorax.
resultsPatients with gelatin sponge slurry tract embolization had statistically lower rates of pneumothorax ((17.1%
conclusionsThe tract embolization technique using iodinated gelatin sponge slurry is safe and considerably reduces pneumothorax after percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy. Our results suggest that it could be use in clinical routine. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: The systemic use of gelatin sponge slurry is safe and reduces considerably the rate of pneumothorax upon needle removal when CT-guided core biopsies are performed using large 16-18G coaxial needles.
