Response to: "timing of administration of indocyanine green for fluorescence-guided surgery in pancreatic cancer: response to Shirakawa et al."
Article in BMC surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This is the response article to correspondence article received for our published article in BMC surgery titled "A prospective single-center protocol for using near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green during staging laparoscopy to detect small metastasis from pancreatic cancer". Peter L. Labib, MBChB pointed out the necessity to administer indocyanine green intravenously in separate timing for detection of metastasis in liver and peritoneum. Preoperative injection is suitable to detect hepatic metastasis and intraoperative injection is reported to be well suited to detect peritoneal metastasis. However, we could not find the usefulness of intraoperative injection of indocyanine green for detecting peritoneal metastasis in cases with staging laparoscopy prior to this study. We employed this study protocol with only preoperative injection of indocyanine green to simplify the procedure with consideration of probably more frequent cases of hepatic metastasis that is difficult to detect with white-light imaging than those of peritoneal metastasis.
