First clinical application of radiofrequency identification (RFID) marking system-Precise localization of a small lung nodule.

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
objectivesPrecise small lung nodule resection is challenging in minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery. Various methods that help surgeons to locate the target nodule have been devised; however, the ideal way that satisfies the demand has not yet been realized. We have developed and applied a novel marking system to localize small lung nodules for the first time in humans.
methodsA radiofrequency identification tag (1.8 mm in diameter and 7 mm in length) that can communicate with a wand-shaped antenna (10 mm in diameter) from the distance of 3 cm was prepared. The tag was delivered adjacent to a 7-mm subsolid nodule in the right lower lobe of a patient under cone beam computed tomography guidance and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery wedge resection was subsequently performed.
resultsThe delivery of the tag was smooth, and the tag was almost immediately detected by the antenna. Wedge resection was successfully performed with the guiding signal from the tag.
conclusionsWe have so far demonstrated that this technology could be applicable for small lung nodule detection in preclinical studies. In this first clinical experience, this system proved to provide accurate positional information of small lung nodules with depth.
