Computed tomography-guided preoperative localization of musculoskeletal lesions using the ROLL technique.
Article in Radiologia brasileira. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveTo describe the preoperative localization of musculoskeletal lesions with the radioguided occult lesion localization (ROLL) technique. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn all cases, computed tomography-guided injection of technetium-99m sulfur colloid was performed, directly into or near the suspicious lesion, up to 36 hours before the surgical procedure. Lesions were detected intraoperatively with a gamma probe.
resultsWe report the cases of six patients submitted to radioguided surgery, including three patients with bone lesions suspicious for metastasis, two patients suspected of recurrent sarcoma, and one patient with no previous diagnosis who had a nodular lesion on the left leg. Patients tolerated the procedure well, and no complications were associated with the puncture. All marked lesions were easily identified intraoperatively and were excised with clear margins.
conclusionThe ROLL technique was effective in the intraoperative localization of occult musculoskeletal lesions, demonstrating that it is a feasible and promising technique for the surgical exploration of selected cases.
