Clock dial integrated positioning combined with single utility port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: a new localization method for lung tumors.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07675889 (Intraoperative Longitude-Latitude-Depth Three-Dimensional Localization Versus Preoperative CT-Guided Percutaneous Lung Puncture Localization for the Treatment of 0.8-2 cm Peripheral Pulmonary Nodules), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundPreoperative localization of lung tumor mainly consisted of two methods: CT-guided percutaneous localization and electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy-guided localization. However, these invasive methods could result in serious complications. In order to avoid the adverse effects of preoperative invasive localization, we propose a method of intraoperative noninvasive localization for lung tumors: clock dial integrated positioning (CDIP).
methodsTo retrospectively analyze the clinic data about the application of CDIP for 127 lung tumour patients in single utility port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (SUPVATS) between June 2017 and October 2017.
resultsOne hundred and twenty-four cases (97.64%) underwent thoracoscopic surgery, which including 14 lobectomy, 107 partial resection, 2 lobectomy plus partial resection and 1 left pneumonectomy. Three cases (2.36%) underwent thoracoscopic biopsy. The mean operation time and intraoperative bleeding were 47.9±22.1 min and 70.1±40.3 mL, respectively. The mean postoperative hospital stay and chest drain duration were 3.9±2.2 and 3.6±1.8 days, respectively. There were 118 cases of malignant tumors, including adenocarcinoma (n=101), squamous cell carcinoma (n=9), large cell carcinoma (n=2), small cell lung carcinoma (n=3), and metastatic lung carcinoma (n=3). The remaining nine cases were benign tumors, including granuloma (n=3), intrapulmonary lymph node (n=2), sclerosing hemangioma (n=2), and hamartoma (n=2). The incidence of postoperative complications was 10.2%. There was no mortality, secondary operation, or conversion to open procedure due to massive intraoperative bleeding.
conclusionsCDIP combined with SUPVATS is a safe, feasible, and effective method for the localization of lung tumors. This novel method can provide a reliable alternative technique when the marker is dislocated.
