Routine use of fluorescent incisionless cholangiography as a new imaging modality during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04624841 (Role of Indocyanine Green in Visualizing Critical View of Safety During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Acute Cholecystitis), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundIntraoperative incisionless fluorescent cholangiography (IOIFC) has been described to identify extrahepatic biliary anatomy. Potential advantages of the routine use of intraoperative incisionless fluorescent cholangiography were evaluated in a consecutive series of cases.
methodsA total of 45 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy between January and July 2013 were consented and included in this study. We analyzed a prospectively collected database for feasibility, cost, time, usefulness, teaching tool, safety, learning curve, X-ray exposure, complexity, and real-time surgery of IOIFC. A single dose of 0.05 mg/kg of Indocyanine green was administered prior to surgery. During the procedure, a laparoscopic fluorescence system was used.
resultsIOIFC could be performed in all 45 patients, whereas intraoperative cholangiography could be performed in 42 (93 %). Individual median cost of performing IOFC was cheaper than IOC (13.97 ± 4.3 vs 778.43 ± 0.4 USD) per patient, p = 0.0001). IOFC was faster than IOC (0.71 ± 0.26 vs 7.15 ± 3.76 minutes, p < 0.0001). The cystic duct was identified by IOFC in 44 out of 45 patients (97.77 %).
conclusionIOIFC appears to be a feasible, low-cost, expeditious, useful, and effective imaging modality when performing LC. It is safe, easy to perform and interpret, and does not require a learning curve or X-ray. It can be used for real time surgery to delineate the extrahepatic biliary structures.
