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
backgroundAccurate localization of pulmonary nodules becomes a crucial step in diagnosis and treatment. However, the efficacy and accuracy of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB)-guided localization with indocyanine green (ICG) injection for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lung resection remain unclear.
methodsA retrospective study was performed that patients who had small pulmonary nodules and underwent lung resection after ENB-guided localization were included from Oct 2018 to Mar 2021. The analysis of the efficacy and accuracy of ENB-guided localization was conducted.
resultsA total of 181 pulmonary nodules in 173 patients were recorded which were 9.21±4.81 mm in size. The mean time of ENB-guided localization was 7.99±4.9 minutes. The success rate of nodule localization was 98.3% (178/181), while the accuracy was 89% (161/181) without any complication. All patients received thoracoscopic surgery after localization, and all nodules were completely resected. A customized scoring system was used to evaluate localization accuracy, and the patients were divided into four groups according to it. The localization accuracy was positively associated with the bronchus sign (P<0.001) and negatively with the location of the nodule (anterior segment and superior lingual segment of left upper lobe) (P=0.013 and 0.03, respectively).
conclusionsENB-guided pulmonary nodule localization by ICG injection is an accurate and effective method with a short operation time and few complications, which could be widely used in clinical practice.
