Comparative study of geometric localization technique and CT-guided percutaneous localization technique for peripheral GGO in wedge resection: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC surgery, 2025. 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
backgroundIntraoperative localization of ground glass opacity (GGO) is a major clinical challenge. We previously introduced a novel method called geometric localization technique (GLT). We aimed to compare GLT and the mostly common used technique-CT guided percutaneous localization technique (CPLT) in terms of the effectiveness, safety and accuracy.
methodsIn a randomized controlled trial, patients who were diagnosed with pulmonary GGO and underwent wedge resection were randomized into GLT group (localized using GLT method) and CPLT group (localized using CPLT method). Baseline data, localization related data, successful localization rate, complications, operation related data and pathological results of patients were prospectively collected. Statistical analysis was performed between the two groups.
resultsA total of 455 patients in our hospital were enrolled in this study from 2022-7-6 to 2024-2-22, including 228 patients in the GLT group and 227 patients in the CPLT group. There were significant differences in terms of the successful localization rate (99.6% vs. 94.3%, χ2 = 10.667, P = 0.001), the rate of sufficient resection margin (99.6% vs. 87.2%, χ2 = 28.110, P < 0.001), and incidence of localization-related complications (0 vs. 17.6%, χ2 = 114.251, P < 0.001) between GLT group and CPLT group. In the GLT group, the distance between GGO and marked visceral pleural point was 3.9 ± 3.1 mm. In the CPLT group, the distance from punctured pleural point to GGO and the distance from anchor to GGO were 18.3 ± 11.4 mm and 4.1 ± 3.5 mm, respectively. In CPLT, one dislocation and thirteen dislodgement occurred. In multivariate regression analysis, only the localization technique was independently correlated with the successful localization rate (OR = 13.105; 95% CI: 1.688, 101.713; P = 0.014). Gender (OR = 0.239; 95% CI: 0.099, 0.579; P = 0.002), nodule size (OR = 0.864; 95% CI: 0.758, 0.984; P = 0.028), depth of nodules (OR = 0.908; 95% CI: 0.861, 0.957; P < 0.001) and the localization technique (OR = 40.809; 95% CI: 5.357, 310.855; P < 0.001) were independent variables in determining the rate of sufficient resection margin.
conclusionsCompared with CPLT, GLT has at least comparable outcomes in terms of effectiveness and accuracy; good safety profile was the advantage of GLT.
