Comparison of CT-guided localization using hook wire or coil before thoracoscopic surgery for ground glass nodules.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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 compare two kinds of metal markers for preoperative localization of ground glass nodules (GGNs).
methodsWe retrospectively investigated data from 198 cases of GGN localization and compared the success rate and complications of both approaches.
resultsIn the hook wire and coil groups, the success rates of CT-guided localization for GGNs were 99.2 and 98.7%, respectively (
conclusionsPreoperative localization of GGNs with both hook wire and coil methods proved to be useful and effective. Both methods have acceptable preoperative and postoperative complication rates, but the localization and operation times were shorter for the hook wire group than the coil group. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Most of previous articles studied a single preoperative localization method. Few studies have compared the preoperative and postoperative methods for metal markers. This paper compared two preoperative localization methods for GGNs to provide clinical guidance.
