Magnetic surgical marker navigation for excision of non-palpable ultrasound visible breast lesions: first 200 cases in a French cancer center.

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
Wire guided localization is widely used as the standard method of pre-operative localization of breast lesions. The aim was to assess outcomes following the introduction of a novel non-wire guided, magnetic surgical marker navigation system. A prospective study between May 2022 and June 2023 established a data base of the first 200 procedures performed using the Sirius Pintuition GPS Detect magnetic marker. The primary outcome measures were the successful excision of the target lesion and retrieval of the magnetic marker. The primary lesion was excised and the magnetic marker was retrieved in all 200 procedures. In 17 procedures (8.5% of the total sample), the magnetic marker was dislodged during surgery; however, the primary lesion was still effectively excised with clear margins without the need for an additional procedure or radiologic assistance. The re-excision rate to achieve margin clearance was 9%. Insertion of the marker was classified as "easy" and "in contact with the target" by the radiologist in all cases (100%). This study has shown that surgical marker navigation reliably localizes lesions and is associated with low re-excision rates. We also perceived improvement in theater planning.
