Image-guided percutaneous cutting needle biopsy in difficult locations.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2022. 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
During the last 30 years, the techniques of percutaneous biopsy have evolved dramatically and its indications have expanded accordingly. Additionally, recent treatments in oncology have made it necessary to use larger cutting needles in biopsies for tissue analysis. These developments force radiologists to perform biopsies in areas they are not very familiar with. However, lesions in such organs and regions are traditionally considered to be dangerous because of the risk of bleeding and trauma to the critical structures along the needle tract. As a result, radiologists are generally reluctant to perform image-guided biopsies in such locations particularly using cutting needles. We present the images of nine cases from our archive, in whom we performed image-guided percutaneous cutting needle biopsy (PCNB) for lesions located in larynx, tongue, intestines, stomach, deep pelvis, uterus, pancreas, penis and spleen. For each specific location, we also mention alternative biopsy methods, the indications of PCNB, its potential risks and special techniques to avoid complications.
