Preoperative lung surface localization for pulmonary wedge resection: a single-center experience.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundPreoperative lung surface localization is effective in sublobar resection for small lung nodules. However, the efficacy may vary depending on the underlying conditions of the lung and tumor, as well as the technique. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and limitations of preoperative lung surface localization for wedge resection by analyzing the outcomes of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous marking and virtual-assisted lung mapping (VAL-MAP).
methodsWe investigated 215 patients who underwent curative wedge resection for malignant tumors using CT-guided localization or VAL-MAP from 1998 to 2018 in our institute. Each resected nodule was assessed for successful resection, which was defined as complete resection with adequate margins.
resultsOne-hundred-and-nineteen patients with 153 nodules were included. The overall successful resection rate was 87.6%. The successful resection rate was significantly lower for nodules with intraoperative adhesion than those without intraoperative adhesion (75.0%
conclusionsA requirement for deeper resection and the presence of intraoperative adhesion were limitations of preoperative lung surface localization for curative pulmonary wedge resection.
