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

purposeTo compare different biopsy systems with different-sized needles by determining the weight of the tissue cores, which is one of the important factors for precise pathological diagnoses, and to provide a rationale for choosing the appropriate breast biopsy system with the appropriate needle for breast cancer biopsy.

methodsSix different vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) systems and one core needle biopsy (CNB) system with different-sized needles in different modes were compared, representing 15 total combinations. Tissue cores were obtained from a chicken breast phantom, which is a common substitute for human breast tissue. Five cores were taken for each combination and weighed.

resultsThe CNB combination provided significantly lighter tissue cores compared with the VAB combinations with the same-size (14-G) needle (P < 0.01). The combinations using the thickest needle obtained the heaviest among all systems (P < 0.02). The untethered battery-free VAB system yielded the lightest specimen among the VAB systems with the same-sized (12-G) needle (P < 0.04). The percent coefficient of variation (%CV) of the core weights obtained using VAB without a basket was significantly smaller compared with the core weights obtained using VAB with a basket (P < 0.01).

conclusionVAB systems can yield larger tissue cores compared with CNB systems. The size of the tissue cores varies even with the same-sized needle among different VAB systems. When performing a breast tissue biopsy, it is important to consider not only CNB versus VAB but also what specific device to use with which needle size.
