Evaluation of Preoperative and Intraoperative Mobile Gamma Camera Imaging in Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy for Melanoma Independent of Preoperative Lymphoscintigraphy.
Trial report in The Journal of surgical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01531608 (Evaluation Of Mobile Gamma Camera Imaging For Sentinel Node Biopsy In Melanoma Independent Of Fixed Gamma Camera Imaging), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
introductionSentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a standard practice for staging cutaneous melanoma. High false-negative rates have an increased interest in adjunctive techniques for localizing SLNs. Mobile gamma cameras (MGCs) represent potential tools to enhance SLNB performance.
methodsAn institutional review board approval was obtained for this study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT01531608). After obtaining informed consent, 20 eligible melanoma patients underwent
resultsA total of 24 SLN basins were detected by FGC. Prior to unblinding, all 24 basins were identified with the preoperative MGC and the operative plan established by preoperative MGC imaging was confirmed accurate by review of the FGC images. All individual sentinel lymph nodes were identified during intraoperative MGC imaging, and in 5/24 (21%) cases, surgeon-reported additional clinically useful information was obtained from the MGC.
conclusionsPreoperative MGC images provide information consistent with FGC images for planning SLNB and in some cases provide additional information that aided in surgical decision-making.
