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

A woman in her 40s was found to have a sewing needle within the right lumbar erector spinae muscle on imaging. The needle tip nearly reached the first lumbar vertebra and was close to the intervertebral foramen. An 8-gauge bone marrow biopsy needle was advanced under local anesthesia and biplane fluoroscopic guidance. The inner needle was withdrawn, while the outer needle was gently advanced to capture the proximal end of the sewing needle. The sewing needle was successfully grasped and removed using the endoscopic biopsy forceps. She was discharged without symptoms. Under biplane fluoroscopy guidance, percutaneous coaxial removal of the intramuscular sewing needle was successfully performed minimally invasively and at a low cost using an 8-gauge bone marrow biopsy needle and endoscopic forceps.
