Computed tomography-guided localization for multiple pulmonary nodules: a meta-analysis.

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
introductionPreoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided localization is commonly employed to facilitate video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)-guided diagnostic wedge resection of pulmonary nodules (PNs).
aimThe present meta-analysis was conducted with the goal of better evaluating the feasibility, safety, and clinical efficacy of preoperative CT-guided localization for multiple PNs (MPNs). MATERIAL AND
methodsPubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were reviewed in order to identify all relevant studies published as of June 2020. Random effects modeling was then used to evaluate the pooled data. The meta-analysis was conducted using Stata v12.0 software.
resultsEight relevant studies were identified for inclusion in the present meta-analysis. In total, 345 patients with 799 PNs were treated with preoperative CT-guided localization and subsequent wedge resection. The overall pooled technical success rate based on the nodules and patients was calculated to be 97% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.94-0.99) and 92% (95% CI: 0.86-0.97), respectively. The overall pooled incidence rate of complications was calculated to be 40% (95% CI: 0.16-0.63). Significant heterogeneity was observed among the studies for all the parameters described above (I
conclusionsPreoperative CT-guided localization may be effective in guiding VATS-guided wedge resection in patients with MPNs.
