Precise sublobar lung resection for small pulmonary nodules: localization and beyond.
Review in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
Early-stage primary lung cancer is increasingly detected by computed tomographic (CT) screening and the radicality of sublobar lung resection (wedge resection and segmentectomy) has been suggested. However, identification of a tumor intraoperatively becomes more difficult, the earlier a nodule is detected. A solution to this challenge is localization techniques. There are many techniques to localize small pulmonary nodules, including that replacing surgeon's tactile sensation, visualizing the tumor using ultrasound, and various types of lung markings that are placed percutaneously under CT guidance or bronchoscopically. The most commonly used technique is CT-guided placement of a hookwire, but there are concerns about potentially fatal air embolism. Bronchoscopic localization, especially using electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy with or without intraoperative cone-beam CT imaging, has been increasingly reported. Beyond localization, the concept of lung "mapping" is emerging. In sublobar lung resection, in addition to localization of the targeted tumor, acquisition of sufficient resection margins is critical to prevent local recurrence. Virtual-assisted lung mapping (VAL-MAP) has evolved from bronchoscopic dye localization, but by placing multiple dye marks, it provides two-dimensional geometric information on the lung. Moreover, to ensure deep resection margins, the newly developed technique of VAL-MAP 2.0 combining dye marks and intrabronchial placement of a microcoil enables three-dimensional lung mapping. This allows for intraoperative navigation of lung resection under a fluoroscope. Development of this field, such as using a new technology of augmented reality, will further enhance the accuracy and convenience of lung resection in the near future.
