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 nodules are usually difficult to identify during thoraco-scopic resection, and preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous puncture assisted localization can be helpful. The purpose of this study is to compare the localization effect and complication rates of two different methods by microcoil placement and sclerosing agent injection (Lauromacrogol).
methodsA retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 371 patients with preoperative pulmonary nodules percutane us puncture localization was performed. According to the use of different materials, they were divided into the microcoil group (167 cases with 196 localized nodules ) and the sclerosing agent group (204 cases with 239 localized nodules). The localization effect, complication, pathological results and operation relates data were statistically analyzed.
resultsThe localization failure rate (2.4%) was higher in the microcoil group than in the sclerosing agent group (0.5%) (P=0.011), and the localization time of sclerosing agent group was significantly shorter than the microcoil group [(18.78±6.91) min vs (11.99±3.77) min, P=0.000], but the distance between the selected localized nodules and the pleura was deeper in the microcoil group than in the sclerosing agent group [(9.59±8.62) mm vs (8.13±6.49)mm, P=0.002]. The overall complications in the microcoil group were significantly higher than those in the sclerosing agent group (P=0.000), in which pneumothorax was the most common. Through the analysis of related risk factors, we revealed that different positioning methods was independent risk factors. Wedge resection was the main type of surgical method and non-invasive carcinomas were the majority of postoperative pathological results.
conclusionsOur study suggests that both microcoil placement and sclerosing agent injection are suitable for preoperative pulmonary nodule localization equivalently, however, compared with microcoils placement, injection of lauromacrogol, the sclerosing agent, had lower failure rate, less complications, shorter localization time and it is worthy of promotion also by easy operation and low cost.
