Efficacy and Safety Analysis of Multislice Spiral CT-Guided Transthoracic Lung Biopsy in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Nodules of Different Sizes.

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
Objective: This study is aimed at investigating the efficacy and safety of multislice spiral CT-guided transthoracic lung biopsy in the diagnosis of pulmonary nodules of different sizes. Methods: Data of 78 patients with pulmonary nodules who underwent CT-guided transthoracic lung biopsy in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into the small nodules group ( Results: The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 83.33%, 100.00%, and 77.78% in small nodules group. The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of medium nodules group were 85.71%, 100.00%, and 73.68%, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of large nodules group were 93.55%, 100.00%, and 33.33%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence of pneumothorax among the three groups ( Conclusion: Multislice spiral CT-guided transthoracic lung biopsy is effective in diagnosing pulmonary nodules of different sizes.
