Image-guided synovial biopsy with a focus on neoplastic lesions.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 2023. 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
Image-guided synovial biopsy is generally a safe, well-tolerated procedure, with a high diagnostic yield. Percutaneous biopsy is indicated for synovial tumours visible on imaging studies where a definitive diagnosis is not possible on imaging grounds alone and/or when a definite diagnosis is necessary prior to initiating long-term treatment. Synovial biopsy for suspected synovial tumour differs from the technique used for joint aspiration, where the most convenient path between the skin and joint is usually chosen and, also, to a lesser degree, to that used for non-tumoural synovial biopsy. During synovial biopsy for tumour, the needle path should be aligned so that it passes along the length of the synovial tumour, including for suspected malignant tumours, the planned resection plane whenever possible. This review outlines the approach to image-guided biopsy of joint synovial tumours.
