Ultrasound location of pulmonary nodules in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for precise sublobectomy.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05994898 (The Value of Ultrahigh-frequency Ultrasonography), which is not on this map. Cited by 23 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.

Abstract
backgroundWe investigated the clinical value of accurate sublobectomy of pulmonary nodules using video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS). In June 2017 to June 2019, single lung nodule patients who accepted thoracoscopic resection were included. Palpation and intraoperative ultrasound (IU) were used to localize lung nodules, and the success rate, location time and safety compared. Performance of lung nodule ultrasound was assessed. The success rate of IU localization of pulmonary nodules with different properties was studied.
resultsA total of 33 cases with single pulmonary nodules were included in the study, and 32 cases (97%) were successfully located by IU as opposed to 16 cases (48.5%) located by palpation (P < 0.05). Clear hypoechoic ultrasound images of nodules were obtained in all 32 cases, and the diameter of pulmonary nodules on ultrasound and CT were found to have a significant correlation (R = 0.860, P = 0.000). The average positioning time of IU was lower than that of the palpation group (P < 0.05). No complications occurred during ultrasound examination. The success rate of intraoperative ultrasonic localization between the pure ground-glass opacity (p-GGO) group and the mixed-ground-glass opacity (m-GGO) group was 90%, 100% (P = 0.526).
conclusionsIn thoracoscopic surgery, IU can locate pulmonary nodules accurately, efficiently and safely, and also has a high degree of accuracy in locating different types of pulmonary nodules.
