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
backgroundIndocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging represents an emerging technology that facilitates the assessment of tissue vascularity, tissue distinction, and tumor localization during surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of ICG imaging during laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy.
methodsIndocyanine fluorescence imaging was carried out during laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy for bilateral pheochromocytoma and bilateral Cushing's syndrome. A first bolus of 5 mg ICG was applied intravenously upon exposure of the retroperitoneal plane to identify the adrenal borders. The fluorescence was visualized using a Storz
resultsWe investigated six adrenal glands from three patients undergoing bilateral partial adrenalectomy. The indication for surgery was pheochromocytoma in two patients and Cushing's syndrome with bilateral adenomas in one patient. Regarding left adrenalectomies, ICG imaging was helpful in visualizing the adrenal borders and the adrenal vein. Further, it facilitated the identification of the hypofluorescent pheochromocytoma and to resect the entire tumor. On the right side, due to the more apparent anatomy, ICG imaging did not contribute to the conduct of the operation. Four adrenal remnants showed a strong vascularization and two remnants were only reasonably vascularized.
conclusionICG fluorescence may be helpful in guiding partial adrenalectomy and assessing the vascularity of remaining adrenal tissue.
