Outcomes using indocyanine green angiography with perforator-sparing component separation technique for abdominal wall reconstruction.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundUsage of intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) to assess skin flaps prior to abdominal wall closure has been shown to decrease postoperative wound-related complications. Primary outcome assessed is the utility of ICG in intraoperative decision making. Secondary outcomes analyzed are the incidence of surgical site occurrence (SSO) and hernia recurrence rates.
methodsA retrospective study using the MedStar Georgetown University Hospital database was conducted, incorporating all consecutive patients undergoing complex incisional hernia repair from 2008 to 2018. 146 patients underwent perforator-sparing component separation (PSCST), 88 underwent flap assessment using intraoperative ICG angiography; they were then analyzed based on patient comorbidities, Ventral Hernia Working Group grade, operative factors, and complications.
resultsA total of 146 patients were analyzed with no statistical difference in patient characteristics between the SPY and no SPY group except in BMI (30.2 vs. 33.2 kg/m
conclusionIntraoperative ICG assessment of subcutaneous skin flaps with a perforator-sparing component separation does not result in a decrease in surgical site occurrences.
