Percutaneous ultrasound-guided coaxial core needle biopsy for the diagnosis of multiple splenic lesions: A case report.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe overlap of imaging manifestations among distinct splenic lesions gives rise to a diagnostic dilemma. Consequently, a definitive diagnosis primarily relies on histological results. The ultrasound (US)-guided coaxial core needle biopsy (CNB) not only procures sufficient tissue to help clarify the diagnosis, but reduces the incidence of puncture-related complications. CASE SUMMARY: A 41-year-old female, with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis, was admitted to our hospital with multiple indeterminate splenic lesions. Gray-scale ultrasonography demonstrated splenomegaly with numerous well-defined hypoechoic masses. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed an enlarged spleen with multiple irregular-shaped, peripherally enhancing, hypodense lesions. Positron emission CT revealed numerous abnormal hyperglycemia foci. These imaging findings strongly indicated the possibility of infectious disease as the primary concern, with neoplastic lesions requiring exclusion. To obtain the precise pathological diagnosis, the US-guided coaxial CNB of the spleen was carried out. The patient did not express any discomfort during the procedure.
conclusionPercutaneous US-guided coaxial CNB is an excellent and safe option for obtaining precise splenic tissue samples, as it significantly enhances sample yield for exact pathological analysis with minimum trauma to the spleen parenchyma and surrounding tissue.
