Near-infrared fluorescent solid material for visualizing indwelling devices implanted for medical use.
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 12 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
backgroundIn clinical practice, various devices are implanted into the body for medical reasons. As X-ray fluoroscopy is necessary to visualize medical devices implanted into the body, the development of a less-invasive visualization method is highly desired. This study aimed to investigate the clinical applicability of our novel solid material that emits near-infrared fluorescence.
methodsWe developed a solid resin material that emits near-infrared fluorescence. This material incorporates a near-infrared fluorescent pigment, with quantum yield ≥ 20 times than that of indocyanine green. It can be sterilized for medical treatment. This resin material is designed to be molded into a catheter and inserted into the body with an endoscope clip. In this preclinical experiment using a swine model, the resin material was embedded into the body of the swine and visualized with a near-infrared fluorescence camera system.
resultsEndoscopic clips were placed in the mucosa of the stomach, esophagus, and large intestine, and the indwelling ureteral catheters were successfully visualized by near-infrared fluorescence laparoscopy.
conclusionsWe confirmed the tissue permeability of the fluorescence emitted by our novel near-infrared fluorescent material and the possibility of its clinical application. This material may allow visualization of devices embedded in the body.
