Thoracic Duct Lymphography by Near-Infrared Indocyanine Green Fluorescence imaging in Thoracic Surgery. A Review.
Review in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green dye (ICG) is an emerging technology in detecting the anatomy of the thoracic duct; hence, it can be useful for the identification of the thoracic duct in real time and prevention of its injury during thoracic surgery. It helps to localize thoracic duct injury, identifying chyle leaks in difficult, recurrent, and refractory cases. This review paper provides insights regarding the current applications, advantages, and potential developments of NIR fluorescence imaging with ICG in recognizing thoracic duct during thoracic surgery.
