Approach to a solid solitary pulmonary nodule in two different settings-"Common is common, rare is rare".
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 new solid solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is a common feature in the daily practice of physicians, pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons. The etiology and consequently the diagnostic approach is very different in various parts of the world. Identification of malignant nodules is the universal goal to proceed to a potential curable therapy. In countries with a low incidence of inflammatory disease and a high incidence of lung cancer the diagnostic work up includes a positron emission tomography (PET) scan or PET-computer tomography (CT) as a main pillar. In countries with a high incidence of inflammatory and infectious disease and a low incidence in lung cancer this diagnostic work up needs to be adapted. In these settings a PET scan has a limited role and tissue diagnosis, whether with a trans-thoracic, trans-bronchial biopsy or a video-assisted wedge resection is the most targeted approach to determine or exclude malignancy. The evaluation of a solid SPN in the two different situations is outlined in our algorithm. Recommendations stress the value of clinical judgement in different settings, determination of probabilities of malignancy, cost-effective use of diagnostic tools and evaluation of various management alternatives according to the risk profile and the patients preferences.
