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

An aspiration biopsy is a commonly performed procedure for diagnostic sampling, particularly for sampling of cystic soft tissue lesions and bone marrow. The method is also useful for diagnostic sampling of bone lesions, particularly cystic and lytic osseous lesions where traditional methods of core biopsy may yield little to no material. Performing a successful aspiration biopsy involves aspiration of the lesion's contents and curettage of the walls. This requires maintaining a constant negative pressure on the syringe, which can be challenging with bone biopsies, as it requires one hand to maintain significant pressure on the plunger while the other hand manipulates the needle within the lesion. We describe a novel technique for performing aspiration biopsies of these lesions which allows maintenance of constant negative pressure on the syringe and frees up both the proceduralist's hands for better control of the needle.
