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
Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence image guidance (I-FIGS) is increasingly used in liver surgery. Several regimens have been described regarding the optimum timing and dose of administration. This study presents our early experience with utilising monochromatic Colour Segmented Fluorescence (CSF)-mode and same-day administration of low-dose-ICG in the resection of liver tumours. Between November 2020 and March 2022, I-FIGS was used in 15 patients with suspected liver tumours. ICG was administered intravenously at 0.02 to 0.05 mg/kg dose 2-3 h before surgery. ICG camera was switched to CSF-grey-scale mode to visualise the tumour and to avoid the interference of the green background liver. Using the SPY-CSF mode, the image was scaled to near-infra-red (NIR) fluorescence intensity to accurately identify the tumours and resection margins. Fifteen patients (eight males) with a median age of 71 years (range: 36-86) underwent I-FIGS. Of these, 67% underwent laparoscopic liver surgery, 78% had non-anatomical resections, and 33% underwent redo liver surgery. The mean tumour size was 40.6 mm (SD+/-41 mm). The median number of tumours was two (1-7). All colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) had a signet ring appearance. Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) showed partial fluorescence. Tumours were well/moderately differentiated, with CRLM in 86% and HCC in two patients. The R0 resection rate was 72%. In our experience, low-dose-ICG administered at least 2-3 h before surgery can identify liver tumours and their margins in CSF-grey-scale mode. Further research is needed to evaluate its role in reducing R1 resection rates and surgical outcomes.
