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.

2 · The registry

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: To explore the safety and diagnostic value of modified needle aspiration biopsy for superficial enlarged lymph nodes. Methods: A total of 88 patients with unknown diagnosis of superficial lymphadenopathy in our hospital (Wuxi Fifth People's Hospital) from January 2018 to July 2021 were recruited and then divided into two groups using the simple random grouping method. The study group included 48 patients who were punctured Results: The positive rate of definite pathological diagnosis was 79.2% (38/48) in the study group and 82.5% (33/40) in the control group. Both groups had similar diagnostic positive rates regarding tuberculosis and metastatic tumours in the lymph nodes ( Conclusion: The diagnostic efficacy and safety of modified needle aspiration biopsy in superficial swollen lymph nodes are equivalent to those of CNB, but the former is a more economical, simple and practical method for clinical settings and one that could be popularised in primary hospitals.
