Role of ultrasound-guided trucut muscle biopsy using biopsy gun in inflammatory myopathies: A comparative analysis with open biopsy.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India. 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
Background: Open muscle biopsy (OMB) is traditionally considered the "gold standard" method for muscle biopsy since a large specimen can be obtained under direct vision. However, there are issues related to logistics, duration of procedure, post operative pain and associated complications. This led us to explore minimally invasive percutaneous biopsy procedures in IM to overcome these shortcomings. Methods: Forty two consecutive patients with suspected IM who underwent a diagnostic muscle biopsy at a tertiary care institute in North India between July 2017 to Jun 2019 were included. All such patients who reported to Neurology clinic underwent OMB, whereas those attending Rheumatology clinic were subjected to US guided TMB using a 14 gauge trucut BARD® biopsy gun. Results and conclusion: USG guided TMB using a bard biopsy gun is a relatively safe, convenient and less traumatic alternative to OMB with significantly less procedural and post-procedural morbidity. It may be considered as a fist line method for obtaining muscle specimen.
