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
backgroundThe purpose of the study was to assess the efficiency and safety of a modified bone cement pusher in percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) combined with a multi-target negative pressure rotary-cutting technique in puncture biopsy of bone tumors.
methodsThe biopsy was performed with the modified bone cement pusher commonly used in PVP, and a multi-target negative pressure rotary-cutting technique. A total of 120 patients with spinal and pelvic tumors undergoing needle biopsy in our department were recruited and assigned to a new biopsy device Group (Group A, n = 60) or a conventional biopsy device Group (Group B, n = 60). The puncture time, positive rate, consistency rate, and patient satisfaction of Groups A and B were compared to assess the efficiency and safety of the new device.
resultsNo biopsy-related complications were reported in both groups. The puncture time (39.44 ± 8.885 min vs. 61.61 ± 9.880 min), positive rate (96.67% vs. 61.67%), consistency rate (96.55% vs. 81.8%), and patient satisfaction rate (100% vs. 83.33%) were significantly superb in Group A compared with those in Group B (all P < 0.05). Patients in Group A did not require repeated biopsies, and sufficient samples were obtained through the needle trajectory in PVP. All patients with a definite diagnosis were managed with appropriate treatments.
conclusionFeaturing high safety, positive rate, and consistency rate, the new device can be performed to collect sufficient pathological samples from multiple angles. Wide clinical replication can be expected considering its evident diagnostic efficiency for bone tumors.
