A review of tumor-specific fluorescence-guided surgery for colorectal cancer.
Review in Surgical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
The present study reviews the use of tumor-specific antibodies conjugated to fluorescent dyes in preclinical and clinical studies to enhance visualization of primary tumors and metastases for fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) in colorectal cancer (CRC). A search strategy was developed using the peer-reviewed National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database on PubMed. Studies using tumor-specific fluorescence imaging and FGS techniques on murine models of colorectal cell lines or patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) colorectal cancer are reviewed. A total of 24 articles were identified that met the inclusion criteria, 21 preclinical and 3 clinical trials. The most widely used target antigen in preclinical and clinical trials was carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Mouse studies and clinical studies have demonstrated that the use of FGS in CRC can aid in decreased residual tumor and decreased rates of recurrence. As the mainstay of colorectal cancer treatment is surgery, the addition of intraoperative fluorescence imaging can help locate tumor margins, visualize occult micro-metastases, drive surgical decision making and improve patient outcomes.
