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
introductionComputed tomography (CT)-guided suture anchor localizer (SAL) placement is increasingly used to facilitate preoperative localization of pulmonary nodules (PNs) before video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Although this approach is well established for single nodules, evidence regarding its application in multiple nodules remains limited.
aimWe aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CT-guided SAL placement for simultaneous localization of multiple PNs. MATERIALS AND
methodsA 2-center retrospective study was conducted enrolling patients who underwent CT-guided SAL placement for multiple PNs followed by VATS resection between January 2023 and December 2024. A contemporaneous cohort undergoing single PN localization served as the control group. Clinical outcomes and procedural complications were compared between the groups.
resultsA total of 49 patients underwent the localization of 106 PNs in the multiple-nodule group, whereas 163 patients underwent the localization of 163 single PNs in the single-nodule group. The technical success of SAL placement was 100% in both groups. Localization time was longer in the multiple-nodule group (
conclusionsCT-guided SAL placement is a reliable and safe method for preoperative localization of multiple PNs. Our findings supportin its clinical utility in patients undergoing VATS.
