The use of Indocyanine green fluorescent in patients with abdominal trauma for better intraoperative decision-making and less bowel anastomosis leak: case series.
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 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Despite technological advances in the management of blunt abdominal trauma, the rate of bowel anastomotic leakage (AL) remains high. The etiology of AL is multifactorial, but insufficient blood perfusion is considered to play a substantial role in the pathogenesis. In recent years, angiography with Indocyanine green (ICG), a fluorescent dye, has been introduced in the clinical practice to assess organ perfusion in several conditions. Given the scarcity of publications describing the use of ICG in trauma patients as a potentially useful strategy that may facilitate intraoperative decisions and limit the extent of bowel resection, we presented the utility of intraoperative ICG fluorescent in abdominal trauma patients in a level 1 trauma center. The use of ICG fluoroscopy in patients with abdominal trauma is feasible and useful; however, large prospective studies in trauma patients are warranted.
