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
Introduction: Both hook-wire (HW) and anchored needle (AN) techniques can be used for preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided localization for pulmonary nodules (PNs). But the outcomes associated with these two materials remain unclear. Aim: To assess the relative safety and efficacy of preoperative CT-guided HW and AN localization for PNs. Material and methods: This was a retrospective analysis of data collected from two institutions. Consecutive patients with PNs between January 2020 and December 2021 who underwent preoperative CT-guided HW or AN localization followed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) procedures were included in these analyses, which compared the safety and clinical efficiency of these two localization strategies. Results: In total, 98 patients (105 PNs) and 93 patients (107 PNs) underwent CT-guided HW and AN localization procedures, respectively. The HW and AN groups exhibited similar rates of successful PN localization (95.2% vs. 99.1%, p = 0.117), but the dislodgement rate in the HW group was significantly higher than that for the AN group (4.8% vs. 0.0%, p = 0.029). The mean pain score of patients in the HW group was significantly higher than that for the AN group (p = 0.001). HW and AN localization strategies were associated with comparable pneumothorax (21.4% vs. 16.1%, p = 0.349) and pulmonary hemorrhage (29.6% vs. 23.7%, p = 0.354) rates. All patients other than 1 individual in the HW group successfully underwent VATS-guided limited resection. Conclusions: These data suggest that AN represents a safe, well-tolerated, feasible preoperative localization strategy for PNs that may offer value as a replacement for HW localization.
