Preoperative CT-guided localization for pulmonary nodules: a comparative study between conventional and novel tailed coil.

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
Background: Computed tomography (CT)-guided coil localization is a commonly employed technique for the preoperative localization of pulmonary nodules (PNs). This study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of conventional CT-guidance versus coil localization for the preoperative assessment of PNs. Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients with PNs who underwent either CT-guided conventional (n=41) or novel (n=42) coil localization before video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) resection between January 2023 and December 2024. The two groups were compared regarding localization success rates and VATS-related outcomes. Results: A total of 41 patients in the conventional coil group and 42 in the novel coil group underwent PN localization before VATS resection. Each patient was localized with 1 PN. The novel coil group achieved a significantly higher successful localization rate than the conventional coil group (100% Conclusions: The novel coil localization technique showed higher efficacy than the conventional coil approach for preoperative localization of PNs, while maintaining a similar safety profile.
