1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionVideo-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)-guided diagnostic wedge resection (WR) is frequently used for removal of pulmonary nodules (PNs). Preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided coil localization (CL) is often used for guidance.

aimTo evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of CT-guided trans-pulmonary-hepatic approach CL of PNs near the right lung base. MATERIAL AND

methodsConsecutive patients with PNs who underwent CT-guided CL followed by VATS-guided WR at our center from January 2018 to December 2020 were analyzed.

resultsOne hundred and twenty-two patients with PNs underwent CT-guided CL followed by VATS-guided WR at our center. Of them, 5 (4.1%) patients had PNs near the right lung base and underwent the CT-guided trans-pulmonary-hepatic approach CL procedures. The technical success rate of CL was 100%. The VATS-guided WR was 100% successful. No patient required thoracotomy.

conclusionsCT-guided trans-pulmonary-hepatic approach CL for PNs located near the right lung base is technically feasible.
