Simultaneous percutaneous microwave ablation and biopsy for highly suspected malignant pulmonary nodules: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: The conventional diagnosis and treatment for highly suspected malignant pulmonary nodules (PNs) can avoid unnecessary treatment to some extent. However, the relatively separate puncture processes may not only increase puncture-related complications, but also increase the patient's radiation exposure and hospitalization costs. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the effectiveness of simultaneous percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) and percutaneous biopsy (PB) for PNs. Methods: From August 2015 to August 2022, 65 consecutive patients [48 solid nodules, 6 ground glass opacities (GGOs), 11 mixed nodules] with suspected single malignant PN underwent MWA and PB combination treatments at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. The total of 30 patients in Group A underwent synchronous PB and MWA (strategy: low-power MWA-PB-high-power MWA), whereas 35 patients in Group B underwent asynchronous PB and MWA. The technical success, complete ablation (CA), complications, total procedure time (TPT), patient exposure dose (PED), hospitalization time, and costs were compared. An independent samples Results: The technical success (100% Conclusions: Synchronous PB and MWA for PNs is a safe and effective strategy that can decrease bleeding, PED, the hospitalization stay, and costs.
