Preoperative CT-guided Fiducial Marker Placement for Surgical Localization of Pulmonary Nodules.
Article in Radiology. Cardiothoracic imaging, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Purpose: To assess the technical success and complication rates of CT-guided fiducial marker placement for the localization of pulmonary nodules and to assess the surgical localization failure rate. Materials and Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective analysis of consecutive patients who underwent CT-guided fiducial marker placement procedures between 2014 and 2020. End points included the technical success of the fiducial marker placement, procedural complications, and the surgical localization failure rate. A two-sample Results: A total of 198 preoperative CT-guided fiducial marker placement procedures were performed in 190 patients (mean age, 64 years ± 12 [standard deviation]; 121 women) to localize 205 nodules (mean size, 10 mm ± 4; mean distance to the pleura, 10 mm ± 9). The technical success rate was 98.5% (195 of 198). There were no major complications. A total of 202 nodules were resected during 193 procedures performed 5 days ± 13 after the fiducial marker placement (range, 0-123 days). Surgical localization failure occurred in one patient (0.5%). Of the resected nodules, 146 were lung cancers, 26 nodules were metastases, two were carcinoid tumors, and 28 were benign. Conclusion: The CT-guided fiducial marker placement of pulmonary nodules was safe, effective, and resulted in a low surgical localization failure rate.
