Indocyanine Green-Based Fluorescence-Guided Surgery in a Male Infant with Anorectal Malformation.
Article in European journal of pediatric surgery reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Reconstructive techniques for complex anorectal malformations (ARMs) require intestinal pull-through on vascular pedicles. Traditionally, the visual inspection of the intestinal perfusion is the sole modality adopted to assess tissue viability. In this article, we report the case of a child with a rectourethral prostatic fistula, who had a Peña's descending colostomy with distal mucous fistula in the neonatal period and a posterior sagittal anorectoplasty at 6 months of life. The ARM repair was guided by indocyanine green (ICG), which was intravenously administered to evaluate the blood flow of the intestinal pull-through using the EleVision IR system (Medtronic Ltd, U.K.). ICG-based fluorescence-guided surgery helped to define the proximal resection margin, impacting intraoperative decision making, and no postoperative complications occurred. We envisage that this technology will become part of the armory of pediatric surgeons soon, by reducing the risk of intra- and postoperative complications.
