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
Introduction: Both tailed coils and suture anchors are purpose-designed materials used for preoperative localization of pulmonary nodules (PNs). Their comparative clinical performance and safety profiles, however, have not been clearly established. Aim: We aimed to assess the comparative efficacy and safety of computed tomography (CT)-guided tailed coil and suture anchor placement for preoperative PN localization. Materials and methods: Patients who had undergone CT-guided PN localization followed by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) resection between January and December 2025 were consecutively included in this retrospective analysis. The participants were categorized into 2 groups: group 1 (tailed coil) and group 2 (suture anchor). Baseline characteristics along with localization- and VATS-associated outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results: CT-guided localization was performed in 98 patients using tailed coils (n = 47) and suture anchors (n = 51), with 1 PN localized per patient. The technical success rate was 100% in both cohorts. Mean (SD) localization time was 20.1 (4.4) minutes in group 1 and 21.2 (3) minutes in group 2 ( Conclusions: CT-guided tailed coil and suture anchor localization techniques appear to offer comparable clinical efficacy and safety for preoperative PN localization.
