Pneumothoraxes after CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle aspiration biopsy of the lung: A single-center experience with 3426 patients.

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
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to determine how long patients who developed pneumothorax were followed up on in the emergency department, how many patients required chest tube placement, and what factors influenced the need for a chest tube in patients who underwent computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous transthoracic fine needle aspiration biopsy (PTFNAB). Materials and Methods: Patients who developed pneumothorax following CT-guided PTFNAB were analyzed retrospectively. In cases with pneumothorax, the relationship between chest tube placement and the size of the lesion, the lesion depth from the pleural surface, the presence of emphysema, and the needle entry angle were investigated. It was determined how long the patients were followed up in the emergency department, when a chest tube was placed, and when patients who did not require chest tube placement were discharged. Result: CT-guided PTFNAB was performed in 3426 patients within two years. Pneumothorax developed in 314 (9%) cases and a chest tube was placed in 117 (37%). The risk factor for chest tube placement was found to be the lesion depth from the pleural surface. The lesion depth from the pleural surface of >24 mm increased the risk of chest tube placement by 4.8 times. Chest tubes were placed at an average of five hours (5.04 ± 5.57). Conclusions: This study has shown that in cases with pneumothorax that required chest tube placement, the lesion depth from the pleural surface is a risk factor. Patients who developed pneumothorax on CT during the procedure had chest tubes placed after an average of five hours.
