1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) has revolutionized commonly performed general surgical procedures by providing superior anatomic imaging and enhancing safety for patients. ICG, when injected, shows a bright green fluorescence when subjected to the near infra-red (NIR) spectrum. Materials and methods: We employed the use of ICG in Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Intestinal Colorectal Anastomosis and Hernia to assess vascularity of resected ends and bowel viability, Sentinel Lymph node mapping, Vascular surgery to assess amputation stump success and in assessing Flap Vascularity and healing. Results: ICG when administered had successfully shown bright green fluorescence in different cases thereby aiding in surgical procedures. Conclusion: Routine intraoperative use of ICG could pave the way for a more objective assessment of different surgical circumstances and thereby reduce personalized barriers to aciurgy. ICG fluorescence therefore seems to be a promising apparatus in standard general surgical procedures minimizing untoward errors and improving patient conformance.
