Comparison of indocyanine green dye fluorescent cholangiography with intra-operative cholangiography in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Surgical endoscopy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05419947 (Randomized Clinical Trial for the Optimization of Indocyanine Green Administration in Near-infrared Fluorescent Cholangiography During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.), which is not on this map. Cited by 36 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo compare indocyanine green dye fluorescence cholangiography (ICG-FC) with intra-operative cholangiography (IOC) in minimal access cholecystectomy for visualization of the extrahepatic biliary tree.
backgroundAlthough studies have shown that ICG-FC is safe, feasible, and comparable to IOC to visualize the extrahepatic biliary tree, there is no comparative review.
methodsWe searched The Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases up to 8 April 2020 for all studies comparing ICG-FC with IOC in patients undergoing minimal access cholecystectomy. The primary outcomes were percentage visualization of the cystic duct (CD), common bile duct (CBD), CD-CBD junction, and the common hepatic duct (CHD). We used RevMan v5.3 software to analyze the data.
resultsSeven studies including 481 patients were included. Five studies, comprising 275 patients reported higher CD (RR = 0.90, p = 0.12, 95% CI 0.79-1.03, I
conclusionICG-FC is safe, and it improves visualization of CHD.
