Sentinel lymph node detection by means of indocyanine green using the Karl Storz VITOM
Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeThe usage of radioactive Technetium
methodsIn this double-arm retrospective study, we sought to establish the usefulness of indocyanine green as an alternative or an addition to the conventional Technetium
resultsAmong the 161 patients who underwent primary SLNB, 34 patients had at least 1 SLN with metastasis. Among these patients with SLN metastasis, 33 had the SLN detected by ICG; while 31 had the SLN detected by Tc
conclusionsOur results show that ICG is as effective as the radioisotope for SLNB even among patients who have undergone NACT. This trial is registered with the German Clinical Trial Register, ID: DRKS00013606.
