Pulmonary Hemorrhage and Pneumothorax Risk During CT-Guided Lung Biopsy for Suspected Lung Cancer.
Article in Cancers, 2026. 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the association between pulmonary hemorrhage and PTX following CT-guided lung biopsy for suspected or confirmed lung malignancy and to assess whether lesion depth modifies this relationship.
methodsThis retrospective single-center study included 118 consecutive patients undergoing CT-guided lung biopsy for oncologic indications between 2020 and 2025 (66 men, 52 women; median age 69 years). Immediate post-biopsy CT was assessed for PTX and focal pulmonary hemorrhage. Multivariable logistic regression identified predictors of PTX, including pulmonary hemorrhage, lesion size and depth, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, patient positioning, age, and sex. An interaction analysis evaluated effect modification by lesion depth.
resultsPTX occurred in 22.0% of biopsies, and pulmonary hemorrhage in 29.7%. PTX was significantly less frequent in patients with pulmonary hemorrhage (
conclusionsIn patients undergoing CT-guided biopsy for lung cancer evaluation, pulmonary hemorrhage may mitigate PTX risk, particularly for deeper lesions.
