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
objectiveDelineation of the intersegmental plane during pulmonary segmentectomy by systemic injection of indocyanine green (ICG) has been rapidly emerging. We evaluated the feasibility of the use of ICG in a large-scale cohort according to the type of segmentectomy and the presence of obstructive lung disorder and compared the demarcation status with air injection.
methodsWe collected the data of 209 patients who underwent segmentectomy using ICG at National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. Data of the operation including the demarcation status of the intersegmental plane were analyzed retrospectively.
resultsThe median operation duration and blood loss were 105 minutes (interquartile range, 94-118 minutes) and 12 mL (interquartile range, 5-24 mL), respectively. Good demarcation of the intersegmental plane by ICG was observed in 184 (88.0%) cases, with no correlation to the type of resected segments or the presence of obstructive lung disorder. Postoperative complications of Clavien-Dindo classification grade 3 or more were observed in 5 cases (2.4%), and no ICG-related adverse event was noted. High-frequency jet ventilation was also used in 160 cases (76.6%) to delineate the intersegmental inflation-deflation plane. The air injected by high-frequency jet ventilation tended to spread further beyond the intersegmental plane that was depicted by ICG.
conclusionsThe use of ICG might demarcate the intersegmental plane more restricted to the target segment compared with air injection. Delineation of the intersegmental plane by ICG is feasible regardless of the type of segmentectomy or the presence of obstructive lung disorder, and it can be commonly applicable in pulmonary segmentectomy.
