Real-time computed tomography fluoroscopy-guided dye marking prior to robotic pulmonary resection.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe detection of tumor localization is difficult in robotic surgery because surgeons have no sense of touch and rely on visual information. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative CT-guided dye marking of lung nodules prior to robotic surgery.
methodsPatients undergoing CT-guided dye marking prior to robotic surgery at our hospital between September 2019 and April 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsThirty lung nodules from 29 patients were analyzed. The dye marking procedure was successfully completed. Indigo carmine and indocyanine green were used for 20 and 10 pulmonary nodules, respectively. Slight pneumothorax was the most common complication and occurred in 6 patients (20.7%), none of whom required chest tube placement. Dye marking was visualized in 29/30 (96.7%) nodules and one nodule had poor intraoperative visualization due to severe adhesions. One patient underwent open thoracotomy because of difficulty ventilating one lung. Fourteen patients underwent wide wedge resection and 16 patients underwent segmentectomy for the target nodules. All target nodules were successfully resected with negative margins.
conclusionsCT-guided dye marking of small pulmonary nodules prior to robotic surgery appears feasible and safe. This procedure can facilitate the performance of robotic sublobar resection.
