Image-guided techniques for localization of pulmonary nodules during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy.
Review in Kardiochirurgia i torakochirurgia polska = Polish journal of cardio-thoracic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In the modern era when screening and early surveillance of pulmonary nodules are increasing in importance, the management of the pulmonary nodule represents a different challenge to thoracic surgeons. The difficulty lies in the merging of sound surgical and oncological principles with more minimally invasive and appropriate lung-sparing surgery. The success rates of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) resection for smaller as well as subsolid nodules have increased as a result of radiologists' preoperative localization tools. Fast tracking in thoracic surgery is promoted by proper postoperative care for patients having lobectomies in combination with the VATS technique. Image-guided surgery refers to the application of a real-time correlation of the surgical field to preoperative imaging data collection that reflects the precise placement of a chosen surgical instrument in the adjacent anatomic structures. Among the cross-sectional digital imaging techniques the most widely utilized imaging modalities for image-guided therapy are computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Additionally, surgical navigation devices, tracking tools, integration software, ultrasound, and angiography are used to support these procedures. For people who are thinking about implementing or optimizing a nodule localization program in view of workflow patterns, surgeon preferences, and institutional resources in a certain facility, this review provides in-depth, unbiased evaluation and offers useful information.
