1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Both Accura wire and soft anchored wire strategies can be employed for the preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided localization of pulmonary nodules (PNs). The relative outcomes associated with these two distinct localization strategies, however, remain uncertain. This study thus sought to explore the relative safety and efficacy of preoperative CT-guided Accura wire and soft anchored wire localization for PNs. Methods: This was a retrospective study enrolling patients from two centers. Consecutive patients with PNs who underwent preoperative CT-guided Accura wire or soft anchored wire localization followed by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) resection between January 2022 and December 2023 were enrolled in these analyses. The comparison was carried out between these two groups to evaluate the safety and efficacy. Results: Over the course of this study, 190 patients were enrolled and classified into the Accura wire ( Conclusions: Both Accura wire and soft anchored wire strategies can facilitate accurate PN localization prior to VATS, although the latter strategy may be associated with a better safety profile relative to the former.
