Augmented reality navigation-guided pulmonary nodule localization in a canine model.
Article in Translational lung cancer research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04211051 (Safety and Feasibility of a Novel Pulmonary Surgery Marker System in the Intraoperative Localization of Small 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
backgroundThe current intraoperative pulmonary nodule localization techniques require specific medical equipment or skillful operators, which limits their widespread application. Here, we present an innovative nodule localization technique in a canine lung model using augmented reality (AR) navigation.
methodsPeripheral pulmonary lesions were artificially created in canine model. A preoperative chest computed tomography scan was performed for each animal. The acquired computed tomography images were analyzed, and an established intraoperative localization plan was uploaded into HoloLens (a head-mounted AR device). Under general anesthesia, lung localization markers were implanted in each canine, guided by the established procedure plan displayed by HoloLens. All artificial lesions and markers were removed by video-assisted wedge resection or lobectomy in a single operation.
resultsSince June 2019, 12 peripheral pulmonary lesions were artificially created in 4 canine models. All lung localization markers were precisely implanted with a median registration and implantation time of 6 minutes (range, 2-15 minutes). The average distance between pulmonary lesions and markers was 1.9±1.7 mm, based on computed tomography examination after localization. No severe pneumothorax was observed after marker implantation. After an average implantation period of 16.5 days, no marker displacement was observed.
conclusionsThe AR navigation-guided pulmonary nodule localization technique was safe and effective in a canine model. The validity and feasibility of using this technology in patients will be examined further (NCT04211051).
