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: Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT)-guided biopsy has provided a direct method for the suspicious breast abnormalities detected by DBT. The aim of this study was to assess performance and outcomes of stereotactic (ST) and DBT-guided core needle biopsy (CNB). Methods: All CNBs from August 2021 to July 2024 at our institution were retrospectively reviewed. The number of image exposures obtained, average glandular dose (AGD) per overall procedure, AGD per acquisition, procedure time and pathologic results of CNB, pathologic results of surgical excision when available, and different B categories of concordant or upgrade rate were recorded. Mann-Whitney Results: A total of 134 lesions used DBT-guided CNB, and 100 used ST-guidance. The number of image exposures was lower for DBT-guided (1 [1-2] images) than for ST-guided (3 [3-3] images) CNB (P<0.001). The AGD overall procedure for ST-guided was 7.39 (6.23-8.09) Conclusions: Reduced procedure time and fewer image exposures were achieved with DBT-guided CNB, with overall less AGD, compared to ST-guided CNB.
