Comparison of computed tomographic imaging-guided hook wire localization and electromagnetic navigation bronchoscope localization in the resection of pulmonary nodules: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
The resection of nodules by thoracoscopic surgery is difficult because the nodules may be hard to identify. Preoperative localization of pulmonary nodules is widely used in the clinic. In this study, we retrospectively compared CT-guided hook wire localization and electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) localization of small pulmonary nodules before resection. Patients who underwent localization with CT-guided hook wire or ENB followed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University between January 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively included. Clinical parameters, complication and failure rate, and localization time were compared between two groups. A total of 157 patients underwent the localization procedure successfully. Pulmonary nodules were localized by CT-guided hook wire in 105 patients and by ENB in 52 patients. The nodule size in ENB group was smaller than that in CT-guided localization group (P < 0.001). Both CT-guided localization and ENB localization were well tolerated in all patients, while ENB localization leaded to less complications (P = 0.0058). In CT-guided localization group, 6 patients failed to be located while none failed in ENB group (P = 0.079). The procedure time was 15.15 ± 3.70 min for CT-guided localization and 21.29 ± 4.00 min for ENB localization (P < 0.001). CT-guided localization is simple and feasible for uncertain pulmonary nodules before surgery. ENB localization could identify small lung nodules with high accuracy and achieve lower incidence of complications.
