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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the percutaneous preoperative localization of lung masses suspected to be nonpalpable with a wedge-shaped wire (Somatex® Lung Marker System).

methodsPatients underwent CT-guided lung mass localization with the Somatex® Lung Marker System prior to resection of pulmonary lesions by video-assisted thoracoscopy. The characteristics of the lung masses, complication profiles, histological analysis, and surgical success were reviewed.

resultsForty lung masses were percutaneously localized preoperatively in 38 patients. Eight patients did not have malignancies. Major complications were not observed. All lung masses were fully resected after preoperative localization.

conclusionThe findings support the feasibility and safety of the Somatex® Lung Marker System for the preoperative localization of lung lesions.
