Application of a Self-developed, Low-budget Indocyanine Green Camera in Surgical Imaging - a Single Institution's Experiences.

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
introductionIndocyanine green is a fluorescent dye, the use of which is becoming more and more widespread in different areas of surgery. Several international studies deal with the dye's usefulness in intraoperative angiography, the localization of tumors, the more precise identification of anatomical structures, the detection of lymph nodes and lymph ducts, etc. The application of the dye is safe, but a suitable equipment park is required for its use, which entails relatively high costs.
objectivesThe aim of our research is to create a detector system on a low budget, to be used safely in everyday practice and to illustrate its operation with practical examples at our own institute.
methodsBy modifying a web camera, using filter lenses and special LEDs, we created a device suitable for exciting and detecting indocyanine green fluorescence. We prove its excellent versatility during the following procedures at our institute: breast tumor surgery, kidney transplantation, bowel resection, parathyroid surgery and liver tumor resection.
resultsThe finished camera has an LED light source with a peak wavelength of 780 nm, and the incoming light is filtered by a bandpass filter with a center wavelength of 832 nm. A low budget ($112), easy-to-use tool was created, which is suitable for taking advantage of the opportunities provided by indocyanine green.
