Percutaneous screw fixation of pelvic bone metastases using cone-beam computed tomography navigation.
Article in Diagnostic and interventional imaging. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) navigation to achieve percutaneous screw fixation (PSF) of pelvic bone metastases (PBM). MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty-five consecutive patients (12 men and 23 women; mean age, 62 ± 11.3 [SD]; range: 39-89 years) treated between 2019 and 2021 were retrospectively included. CBCT navigation software was systematically used. Manual drawing of the entry point (MDEP) was performed when CBCT automatic positioning failed. Influence of metastasis pattern, ablation, body mass index, number of screws, and MDEP on procedure duration (PD) and total Air Kerma (AK) was evaluated. Local pain was assessed before, one and six months after treatment. Variables were compared using Pearson correlation, Student t and Wilcoxon tests.
resultsSeventy-five screws were inserted successfully (mean: 2.1 ± 1.1 [SD]; range: 1-5 per patient). CBCT automatic positioning was obtained for 41 screws (55%, 41/75), whereas 34 (45%, 34/75) required MDEP. Mean procedure duration, fluoroscopy time, kerma air product and AK were 73.3 ± 44.8 (SD) min (range: 19-233 min), 13.1 ± 9.5 (SD) min (range: 1.4-38.6 min), 73.8 ± 66.3 (SD) Gy.cm
conclusionCBCT navigation allows to effectively performing PSF of PBM even in the presence of steep angulations.
