Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy-guided preoperative lung nodule localization in video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS): a learning curve analysis.
Article in Translational lung cancer research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) has been widely used to mark small peripheral pulmonary nodules (PPNs) in video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) resection. This technique offers the advantages of a high accuracy and fewer complications. However, few studies have analyzed the learning curve of ENB-guided preoperative localization. We aimed to describe the learning curve and factors influencing ENB-guided thoracoscopic pulmonary nodule resection. Methods: This study included 300 consecutive patients with PPNs who underwent ENB-guided localization by the same endoscopist in our department between November 2019 and December 2021. The cumulative sum (CUSUM) method was used to analyze the learning curve of ENB-guided localization and the learning curve in different lobes, while logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting ENB operative time (OT). Results: In 184 patients with 300 nodules, three learning phases were identified through turning points of the learning curve: Phase I (the 16 Conclusions: ENB OT at the 107
