Comparison of safety and anxiety/depression in computed tomography-guided hook-wire localization versus electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy-guided localization: a retrospective cohort study.

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: The utilization of computed tomography (CT)-guided localization and electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB)-guided localization has gained significant traction in the localization of pulmonary nodules before video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This study aimed to ascertain the precision and safety of the two groups in the preoperative resection of isolated nodules in small peripheral lungs. Furthermore, we examined the subsequent outcomes pertaining to the decline in lung function and alterations in anxiety and depression following resection utilizing both localization techniques. Methods: A total of 177 patients with small-sized pulmonary nodules, scheduled to undergo video-assisted thoracoscopic limited resection, were enrolled in this study. The study involved the examination and comparison of pertinent findings obtained through the utilization of CT-guided hook-wire or ENB injection techniques. Results: The nodules were localized by ENB in 57 patients and by CT guidance in 120 patients. There were no significant complications in ENB-guided localization group (0/57). CT-guided hook-wire localization group had more complications (61/120, P<0.001). There was no disparity observed in pulmonary function decline 3 months post-operation between the two cohorts. The analysis of postoperative Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores indicated that the CT-guided localization group exhibited higher anxiety and depression scores on the initial day and 2 weeks following surgery. Conclusions: ENB-guided and CT-guided localization can effectively identify solitary pulmonary nodules. ENB-guided localization has fewer complications, lower incidence of adverse events, and less impact on postoperative anxiety or depression, suggesting that this is a promising, safe, and feasible method for localization of solitary pulmonary nodules.
