Association between indocyanine green fluorescence blood flow speed in the gastric conduit wall and superior mesenteric artery calcification: predictive significance for anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy.

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
backgroundNear-infrared fluorescence using indocyanine green (ICG) has been applied as a real-time navigation tool to observe blood flow in gastric conduit wall after esophagectomy. Atherosclerosis might impair the blood flow of the systemic organs. The aim of the study was to investigate the significances of ICG blood flow speed in the gastric conduit wall and atherosclerotic calcification for the prediction of anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy.
methodsThe 109 esophageal cancer patients were prospectively enrolled. ICG fluorescence blood flow speed in the gastric conduit wall and abdominal aortic calcification index (ACI), celiac artery (CA) calcification, and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) calcification were determined. Then, the correlation between ICG fluorescence blood flow speed and anastomotic leakage as well as ACI, CA, and SMA calcification were evaluated.
resultsAnastomotic leakage occurred in 15 patients. ACI ranged from 0 to 65. CA calcification and SMA calcification were present in 25 and 12 patients. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that ICG fluorescence blood flow speed in the gastric conduit wall of 2.07 cm/s or less (P < 0.001) and SMA calcification (P = 0.026) were the significant independent predictors of anastomotic leakage. Only SMA calcification was significantly associated with ICG fluorescence blood flow speed in the gastric conduit wall (P = 0.026).
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that ICG fluorescence blood flow speed in the gastric conduit wall can predict anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy and microvascular perfusion of capillary vessels of the gastric conduit might be impaired by systemic atherosclerosis.
