A case of incarcerated femoral hernia with intestinal blood flow assessment by brightfield full-color near-infrared fluorescence camera: Report of a case.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionIndocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence has been reported for examining intestinal blood flow (IBF), but not in the case of bowel released from entrapment in a femoral hernia. We report the case of a patient with incarcerated obturator femoral hernia in whom the bowel was preserved after evaluation of IBF with ICG fluorescence using a brightfield full-color near-infrared fluorescence camera. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A woman in her 60s was diagnosed with incarcerated femoral hernia and underwent surgery. Laparotomy was performed to reduce bowel incarceration via an anterior approach. The small bowel showed deep-red discoloration on gross evaluation, but intravenous injection of ICG revealed uniform fluorescence of the mesentery and bowel wall. This indicated an absence of irreversible ischemic changes to the bowel, so resection was not performed and a modified Kugel herniorrhaphy was performed. The patient showed a good postoperative course.
conclusionIn herniorrhaphy with mesh, minimization of bowel resection is important for preventing postoperative infection of the mesh. In this case, ICG fluorescence with a near-infrared fluorescence camera was central to reducing bowel resection. ICG fluorescence may be useful for evaluating IBF in surgery for incarcerated femoral hernias.
