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

The fluorescent imaging agent IS-001 was determined to be well tolerated in all subjects and has the potential to provide ureter visualization throughout minimally invasive hysterectomy procedures. This study was conducted to evaluate clinical safety and efficacy of a real-time ureter visualization technique for use during hysterectomy surgery. The study drug appears safe, is renally excreted, and allows enhanced ureter visualization when imaged with a clinically approved near-infrared sensitive endoscope. This is a first-in-human study showing preliminary results that the drug is safe and effective during surgery for improved ureter visualization.
