Recent fluorescence imaging technology applications of indocyanine green in general thoracic surgery.
Review in Surgery today, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Thoracic surgeons perform a wide variety of cancer operations, which are often associated with high morbidity and mortality. Thus, thoracic surgery involves many special challenges that require innovative solutions. The increased utilization of minimally invasive practices, poor overall cancer survival, and significant morbidity of critical operations remain key obstacles to overcome. Fluorescence imaging technology (FIT), involving the implementation of fluorescent dyes and imaging systems, is currently used as an adjunct for general thoracic surgery in many situations and includes sentinel lymph node mapping, pulmonary intersegmental plane identification, pulmonary nodule identification, pulmonary bullous lesion detection, evaluation of the anastomotic perfusion after tracheal surgery, and thoracic duct imaging for postoperative chylothorax. This technology enhances the surgeon's ability to perform operations, and has specific advantages. We review some of the key studies that demonstrate the applications of FIT in the field of general thoracic surgery, focusing on the use of indocyanine green.
