Left Heart and Systemic Arterial Circulation Air Embolus During CT-Guided Lung Biopsy.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) of the lung, commonly referred to as a "lung biopsy," is a commonly performed procedure in Interventional Radiology. It is usually associated with well-known risks including pneumothorax and hemothorax. One of the rare and lesser-known risks of TTNB, however, is a phenomenon called an air embolism. The term "air embolism" alone may be somewhat ambiguous, as it could indicate i) air entering the systemic veins, or ii) air entering the pulmonary veins. Here, we present a case of an air embolus entering the pulmonary veins. The pulmonary veins naturally drain into the left side of the heart (left atrium and ventricle) which provides oxygenated blood to the major arteries of the body including the coronary, carotid, and major abdominal visceral branches. Therefore, an air embolism in this vasculature can lead to potentially devastating hemodynamic consequences downstream.
