A new method of sentinel node mapping for early gastric cancer using a fluorescent laparoscope that can adjust the intensity of excitation light and quantify the intensity of indocyanine green fluorescence: Report of a case.

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
introductionOne of the drawbacks of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence sentinel node (SN) mapping is the impossibility of quantifying lymph node fluorescence during surgery. VISION SENSE® is a new near-infrared fluorescence laparoscope for bright-field full-color observation, and provides the ability to adjust the intensity of excitation light and quantify the intensity of ICG fluorescence during observation. We report the case of a patient who underwent ICG SN mapping for early gastric cancer using VISION SENSE®. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A woman in her 60 s was diagnosed with cType0-IIc early gastric cancer located in the anterior wall of the middle gastric body (25 mm in diameter, cT1b, cN0, cM0, cStage IA). Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed no metastases. Laparoscopy assisted distal gastrectomy with D1+ lymph node dissection and SN mapping with ICG fluorescence using the VISION SENSE® were successfully performed. Using VISION SENSE®, we could select those lymph nodes objectively showing high intensity by quantifying ICG fluorescence during surgery. The pathological diagnosis was well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, pT1a, N0, M0, pStage IA. No ICG-positive lymph nodes (8 nodes) contained metastases. Postoperative course was good, with no complications. DISCUSSION: The use of VISION SENSE® allowing adjustment of excitation light and quantification of ICG fluorescence intensity might decreased the false-negative rate for SNs and increased the sensitivity of the ICG for detecting SNs.
conclusionWe successfully performed ICG SN mapping for early gastric cancer using VISION SENSE®.
