Review in Ultrasonography (Seoul, Korea), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05616039 (A Feasibility Randomised Controlled Study to Test the Use of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Image-Guidance in Liver Surgery Compared to Standard Liver Surgery Alone in Reducing Microscopic Positive Tumour Resection Rate), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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

Intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) has been widely utilized in hepatic surgery both as a diagnostic technique and in the course of treatment. Since IOUS involves direct-contact imaging of the target organ, it can provide high spatial resolution without interference from the surrounding structures. Therefore, IOUS may improve the detection, characterization, localization, and local staging of hepatic tumors. IOUS is also a real-time imaging modality capable of providing interactive information and valuable guidance in a range of procedures. Recently, contrast-enhanced IOUS, IOUS elastography, and IOUS-guided hepatic surgery have attracted increasing interest and are expected to lead to the broader implementation of IOUS. Herein, we review the various applications of IOUS in the diagnosis and management of focal hepatic lesions.
