Solitary pulmonary nodule and the surgeon.
Article in African journal of thoracic and critical care medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A solitary pulmonary nodule is a single, well-circumscribed radiographic opacity that will be encountered by every thoracic surgeon, and management is dependent on the malignant potential of the nodule. The nodules are usually first encountered on a chest radiograph. Anatomical characteristics on computed tomography can help to better differentiate the malignant potential of the nodule. These characteristics include nodule size, volume change over time, edge morphology, presence of calcification and nodule attenuation. Other adjuncts to evaluate the malignant potential of the nodule include a functional assessment using positron emission tomography. The role of the thoracic surgeon includes both diagnostic and surgical intervention to assist with management of the malignant nodule.
