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
PURPOSE This study aims to investigate the factors that influence total procedure time when performing computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous core-needle lung biopsies. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of 673 patients, who underwent a CT-guided percutaneous coreneedle biopsy at a tertiary care center from March 2014 to August 2016. Data on patient, nodule, and procedural factors and outcomes were collected retrospectively. Univariate linear regression and a multivariate stepwise linear regression were utilized for analysis. RESULTS Factors most strongly associated with prolonged procedure duration include 20-gauge needle use when compared with 18-gauge needle use (estimated difference in time=1.19), collecting additional core biopsies (estimated difference in time=1.10), decubitus nodule side up (DNSU; estimated difference in time=1.42), and supine positioning (estimated difference in time=1.16) relative to decubitus nodule side down positioning, and increased nodule distance from the skin surface (estimated difference in time=1.03). Increased nodule length (estimated difference in time=0.93) was associated with reductions in procedure duration. Prolonged procedure time was associated with an increased rate of pneumothorax (odds ratio (OR)=1.02; P < .0001) and decreased rate of pulmonary hemorrhage (OR=0.97; P < .0001). CONCLUSION The use of 20-gauge biopsy needle, collecting additional core biopsies, DNSU and supine positioning, smaller nodule size, and increasing nodule distance from the skin surface were associated with increased procedure time for CT-guided core needle biopsies of lung nodules. Prolonged procedure time is associated with a higher rate of pneumothorax and a lower rate of pulmonary hemorrhage.
