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

BACKGROUND/

aimTo compare two different devices for computed tomography (CT)-guided preoperative localization of impalpable pulmonary nodules in terms of effectiveness, technical and clinical success and complications rate. PATIENTS AND

methodsCT-guided preoperative localization procedures of small or ground glass (

resultsEighty-five consecutive patients (46/39 males/female; mean age 42 years, range=4-80 years) with 85 pulmonary nodules (maximum diameter: 8.5±6.4 mm in the SpW group and 17.0±4.2 mm in the HyP group) underwent preoperative CT-guided localization with SpW (65/85, 76.5%) or HyP (20/85, 23.5%) device. Correct CT-guided landmark positioning was obtained in 100% of cases. VATS revealed 4/65 (6.2%) cases of marker displacement in the SpW group and 3/17 (17.6%) cases in the HyP group (

conclusionBoth markers are effective for the preoperative localization of impalpable pulmonary nodules in VATS. SpW seems to be slightly more stable and safer than HyP lung marker in relation to the displacement and PH rate.
