Prediction of hemorrhagic complications after ultrasound-guided biopsy of the thyroid and neck.

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
objectivesHemorrhage occasionally occurs after ultrasound (US)-guided biopsy of the thyroid and neck and sometimes leads to serious complications. We aimed to identify predictors of hemorrhagic complications after US-guided biopsy of the thyroid and neck. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this retrospective study, we analyzed consecutive patients who underwent US-guided biopsy from April 2020 to November 2020. Procedure characteristics, US features, and peri- and post-procedural patient symptoms and signs were compared between patients with and without post-biopsy hemorrhage. Associations between clinical and imaging variables and post-biopsy hemorrhage were analyzed using univariate and multivariate regression analyses.
resultsA total of 305 patients who underwent US-guided biopsy of the thyroid and neck were included (219 women, 86 men; age range, 20-89 years). Seventeen (5.7%) cases of post-biopsy hemorrhage were detected 30 min after biopsy and manual compression. Among them, 10 developed hemorrhage at 30 min without immediate hemorrhage. In the multivariate analysis, a high tenderness score on the visual analog scale (VAS) at 30 min after biopsy (odds ratio [OR] 5.05, p < .001) was identified as an independent predictor of post-biopsy hemorrhage. In patients with hemorrhage at 30 min, tenderness scores significantly increased over 30 min of observation.
conclusionsHigh tenderness scores at 30 min after biopsy and manual compression were independent predictors of hemorrhage after US-guided biopsy of the thyroid and neck. The tenderness score could serve as a valuable marker to triage patients who require further observation and management after a US-guided biopsy of the thyroid and neck. KEY POINTS: • High tenderness scores at 30 min after compression were associated with the presence of delayed post-biopsy hemorrhage at 30 min. • Patients with hemorrhage at 30 min demonstrated a significant increase in tenderness scores over time. • High tenderness scores after biopsy site compression predicted the presence of delayed post-biopsy hemorrhage in the thyroid and neck.
