Fluorescence-guided surgery of the esophagus.
Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The use of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence near-infrared (NIR) imaging during gastrointestinal surgery has surged in recent years. Its use in esophageal surgery is actively being studied both in the clinical setting and in the lab. NIR imaging has several important applications in esophageal surgery including assessing perfusion of the gastrointestinal-esophageal anastomosis, lymphatic drainage and tracheal blood flow after mediastinal dissection. This is a review of the modern literature summarizing the current knowledge on fluorescence-guided surgery of the esophagus.
