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
purposeThis study evaluated the efficacy of a modified core needle biopsy using a 2 cm stroke length to improve tissue yield for molecular analyses in cancer genomics medicine.
methodsIn vitro biopsy weight evaluations were performed using agarose gels of varying hardness. Ex vivo biopsy weight evaluations were conducted using chicken liver, gizzard, breast, and pork loin tissues. Furthermore, in vivo experiments were performed using murine subcutaneous tumor models. The modified method involved using a coaxial introducer needle to maintain a 1 cm notch length while employing a 2 cm stroke length to increase tissue yield. Biopsy performance parameters, including sample weight and DNA yield, were compared between the modified and conventional methods. The firing speed of the biopsy needles with 1 cm and 2 cm stroke lengths was also measured using a high-speed camera.
resultsThe modified technique significantly increased the sample volume across all agarose gel concentrations (9.5-13% increase, P < 0.05). Ex vivo tests revealed significantly higher tissue yields in most samples, except for chicken gizzards. In vivo, the modified method produced significantly larger tissue samples (4.6 mg vs. 2.9 mg, P < 0.001) and higher DNA yield (8.2 ng vs. 6.9 ng, P < 0.05). In addition, the biopsy needle's firing speed was 1.4-1.8 times faster with the 2 cm stroke length than 1 cm stroke.
conclusionThe modified biopsy technique using a 2 cm stroke length significantly improved tissue yield, enhancing the quality of biopsy samples for molecular analyses in precision medicine.
