Real-time augmented fluoroscopy-guided lung marking for thoracoscopic resection of small pulmonary nodules.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundSmall pulmonary nodule localization via an endobronchial route is safe and has fewer complications than that with the transthoracic needle approach, but accurate marking without a navigation system remains challenging. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endobronchial dye marking using conventional bronchoscopy guided by cone-beam computed tomography-derived augmented fluoroscopy (CBCT-AF) for small pulmonary nodules.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 61 nodules in 51 patients who underwent preoperative CBCT-AF-guided bronchoscopic dye marking, followed by thoracoscopic resection, between July 2018 and March 2019.
resultsThe median nodule size was 8.6 mm [interquartile range (IQR) 7.0-11.8 mm], and the median distance from the pleural space was 15.4 mm (IQR 10.6-23.1 mm). All nodules were identifiable on CBCT images and annotated for AF. The median bronchoscopy duration was 8.0 min (IQR 6.0-11.0 min), and the median fluoroscopy duration was 2.2 min (IQR 1.2-4.0 min). The median radiation exposure (expressed as the dose area product) was 2337.2 µGym
conclusionsBronchoscopic dye marking under CBCT-AF guidance before thoracoscopic surgery was safely conducted with satisfactory outcomes in our initial experience.
