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.

Abstract

Background: Percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy is customarily conducted under computed tomography (CT) guidance, which primarily depends on the conductors' experience and inevitably contributes to long procedural duration and radiation exposure. Novel technique facilitating lung biopsy is currently demanded. Methods: Based on the reconstructed anatomical information of CT scans, a three-dimensionally printed navigational template was customized to guide fine-needle aspiration (FNA). The needle insertion site and angle could be indicated by the template after proper placement according to the reference landmarks. From June 2020 to August 2020, patients with peripheral indeterminate lung lesions ≥30 mm in diameter were enrolled in a pilot trial. Cases were considered successful when the virtual line indicated by the template in the first CT scan was pointing at the target, and the rate of success was recorded. The insertion deviation, procedural duration, radiation exposure, biopsy-related complications, and diagnostic yield were documented as well. Results: A total of 20 patients consented to participate, and 2 withdrew. The remaining 18 participants consisting of 11 men and 7 women with a median age of 63 [inter-quartile range (IQR), 50-68] years and a median body mass index (BMI) of 23.5 (IQR, 20.8-25.8) kg/m Conclusions: The feasibility and safety of navigational template-guided FNA were preliminarily validated in lung biopsy cohort. Nonetheless, patients with pleural effusion were not recommended to undergo FNA guided by such technique. Trial Registration: This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: NCT03325907).
