C-arm Fluoroscopy-Guided Percutaneous Needle Biopsy for the Diagnosis of Spinal Infection: A Study of 203 Consecutive Patients.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 1 paper.
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
C-arm fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous needle biopsy (PNB) is a commonly used biopsy method, which shows similar diagnostic outcomes to CT-guided biopsy. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of C-arm fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous needle biopsy (PNB) for spinal infection. A total of 30 male and 73 female patients with suspected spinal infection were enrolled. Among enrolled patients, the spinal lesion was mainly located in the thoracic (T3-T12, 48.28%) and lumbar vertebra (L1-L5, 46.80%), and T12 was the most frequently involved site. C-arm fluoroscopy-guided PNB was performed for the isolation of biopsy samples in these patients. The overall detection rate of pathological changes in bone tissues was 94.1% (191/203), including 92 granulomata with caseous necrosis, 81 inflammatory tissues, 18 tumor tissues, and 12 bone tissues without visible pathological changes. After excluding the tumors, the detection rate of pathogenic microorganisms in liquid tissues was 50.27% (93/185), including 68
