A new preoperative localization of pulmonary nodules guided by mixed reality: a pilot study of an animal model.

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
Background: With the popularity of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), more and more pulmonary nodules are being discovered. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become the first choice for surgical treatment of pulmonary nodules. The use of accurate preoperative localization is crucial for successful resection in VATS. At present, there are many kinds of preoperative localization methods, but there are certain disadvantages. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of mixed reality (MR)-guided pulmonary nodules localization, which is a new method that can benefit patients to a greater extent. Methods: By constructing an animal model of pulmonary nodules localization, 28 cases of pulmonary nodules were located by MR-guided localization. We recorded the localization accuracy, localization time, insertion attempts, and incidence of complications related to localization under MR-guidance. Results: All 28 nodules were successfully located: the deviation of MR-guided localization was 5.71±2.59 mm, localization time was 8.07±1.44 min, and insertion attempts was 1. A pneumothorax and localizer dislodgement occurred in 1 case, respectively. Conclusions: Since preoperative localization is critical for VATS resection of pulmonary nodules, we investigated a new localization method. As indicated by our study, MR-guided localization of pulmonary nodules is feasible and safe, which is worthy of further research and promotion. We have also registered corresponding clinical trials to further investigate and help to improve our understanding of this technique.
