Efficacy and Safety of Gastrointestinal Tumour Site Marking with da Vinci-Compatible Near-Infrared Fluorescent Clips: A Case Series.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
backgroundThe conventional near-infrared fluorescent clip (NIRFC) ZEOCLIP FS® has been used successfully in marking tumour sites during laparoscopic surgeries. However, this clip is difficult to observe with the Firefly imaging system equipped with the da Vinci® surgical system. We have been involved in the modification of ZEOCLIP FS® and development of da Vinci-compatible NIRFC. This is the first prospective single-centre case series study verifying the usefulness and safety of the da Vinci-compatible NIRFC.
methodsTwenty-eight consecutive patients undergoing da Vinci®-assisted surgery for gastrointestinal cancer (16 gastric, 4 oesophageal, and 8 rectal cases) between May 2021 and May 2022 were enrolled.
resultsTumour location was identified by the da Vinci-compatible NIRFCs in 21 of 28 (75%) patients, which involved 12 gastric (75%), 4 oesophageal (100%), and 5 rectal (62%) cancer cases. No adverse events were observed.
conclusionTumour site marking with da Vinci-compatible NIRFC was feasible in 28 patients enrolled in this study. Further studies are warranted to substantiate the safety and improve the recognition rate.
