Computed Tomography Guided Coil Localization and Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery Resection of Small Lung Lesions.

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
Purpose We present our experience with computed tomography (CT) guided coil localization of small pulmonary nodules (<1 cm) followed by Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (UVATS) image-guided resection of these lesions. Method We present 61 patients who underwent CT-guided coil localization for 67 lung nodules, followed by image-guided UVATS wedge resection of these nodules from March 2015 to May 2019. Coils were placed first under local anaesthetic by interventional radiology before the patient was transferred to the operating theatre and underwent fluoroscopy-guided wedge resection under general anaesthesia. Results All cases had successful surgical resection with negative resection margins. Conclusive histological diagnosis was reached in all cases. Two patients (3%) encountered complications from CT-guided coil localization. One suffered a pneumothorax requiring immediate chest drain insertion, and another required conversion to open thoracotomy due to a dislodged coil. Conclusions CT-guided coil localization of pulmonary nodules followed by UVATS wedge resection is a fast and safe procedure that accurately diagnoses and treats small pulmonary nodules.
