Quantitative Fluorescence Imaging of Perfusion-An Algorithm to Predict Anastomotic Leakage.

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
This study tests fluorescence imaging-derived quantitative parameters for perfusion evaluation of the gastric tube during surgery and correlates these parameters with patient outcomes in terms of anastomotic leakage. Poor fundus perfusion is seen as a major factor for the development of anastomotic leakage and strictures. Fluorescence perfusion imaging may reduce the incidence of complications. Parameters for the quantification of the fluorescence signal are still lacking. Quantitative parameters in terms of maximal intensity, mean slope and influx timepoint were tested for significant differences between four perfusion areas of the gastric tube in 22 patients with a repeated ANOVA test. These parameters were compared with patient outcomes. Maximal intensity, mean slope and influx timepoint were significantly different between the base of the gastric tube and the fundus (
