Laparoscopic liver cyst fenestration with real-time indocyanine green fluorescence-guided surgery: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Laparoscopic fenestration (LF) has recently been considered a standard procedure for nonparasitic symptomatic liver cysts. Here, we report a case of LF that was safely performed using real-time indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence-guided surgery. A 74-year-old woman presented with right upper abdominal pain and poor dietary intake. The patient was diagnosed with symptomatic liver cysts and underwent LF. One hour before surgery, ICG (2.5 mg) was intravenously administered to the patient. ICG fluorescence imaging clearly showed the biliary ducts and distinguished the cysts from the liver parenchyma. We could resect only the cyst walls as wide as possible under the guidance of both white light and fluorescence imaging. There were no signs of postoperative symptom recurrence. Detection of ICG fluorescence in the liver parenchyma is as important as ICG cholangiography for fenestration. Laparoscopic liver cyst fenestration with real-time ICG fluorescence-guided surgery is safe and can be used as a standard procedure.
