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
introductionComputed tomography (CT)-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) is a common method for diagnosing pulmonary nodules (PNs). It is often performed using the coaxial technique (CAT) to streamline the process.
aimThis study aimed to compare the safety and diagnostic performance of CT-guided CNB with and without CAT for diagnosing PNs. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective analysis included patients undergoing CT-guided CNB for a diagnosis of PNs between January 2017 and December 2019. The study population was divided according to the use of CAT for the biopsy. Procedure-related data, diagnostic accuracy and yield, and complication rates were compared between the 2 groups.
resultsDuring the study period, a total of 111 and 108 patients underwent CT-guided CNB with and without CAT, respectively. As compared with the non-CAT group, the CAT group showed a lower mean needle pathway number (
conclusionsCT-guided CNB with CAT demonstrated greater procedural efficiency, with fewer needle pathways, shorter operative duration, and improved diagnostic yield, as compared with procedures performed without CAT.
