Pudexacianinium (ASP5354) chloride for ureter visualization in participants undergoing laparoscopic, minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
Trial report in Surgical endoscopy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04238481 (A Phase 2 Randomized Open-label, Dose-ranging Study for Ureter Visualization Using ASP5354 in Subjects Undergoing Laparoscopic/Minimally Invasive Colorectal Surgery), 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
backgroundIntraoperative ureteral injury, a serious complication of abdominopelvic surgeries, can be avoided through ureter visualization. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging offers real-time anatomical visualization of ureters during surgery. Pudexacianinium (ASP5354) chloride is an indocyanine green derivative under investigation for intraoperative ureter visualization during colorectal or gynecologic surgery in adult and pediatric patients.
methodsIn this phase 2 study (NCT04238481), adults undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery were randomized to receive one intravenous dose of pudexacianinium 0.3 mg, 1.0 mg, or 3.0 mg. The primary endpoint was successful intraoperative ureter visualization, defined as observation of ureter fluorescence 30 min after pudexacianinium administration and at end of surgery. Safety and pharmacokinetics were also assessed.
resultsParticipants received pudexacianinium 0.3 mg (n = 3), 1.0 mg (n = 6), or 3.0 mg (n = 3). Most participants were female (n = 10; 83.3%); median age was 54 years (range 24-69) and median BMI was 29.3 kg/m
conclusionsIn this study, 1.0 and 3.0 mg pudexacianinium provided ureteral visualization for the duration of minimally invasive, laparoscopic colorectal procedures and was safe and well tolerated.
