Percutaneous Computed Tomography (CT)-Guided Localization with Indocyanine Green for the Thoracoscopic Resection of Small Pulmonary Nodules.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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 identification of small lung nodules is challenging during mini-invasive thoracic surgery. Unable to palpate them directly, surgeons have developed several methods to preoperatively localize pulmonary nodules, including the computed tomography-guided positioning of coils or metallic landmarks (hook wire) or bronchoscopic marking.
methodsWe present a series of patients scheduled for the video-assisted thoracoscopic sublobar resection of small pulmonary nodules, in which we performed preoperative percutaneous computed tomography (CT)-guided nodule localization through the injection of a mixture of indocyanine green and human albumin.
resultsA total of 40 patients underwent a preoperative CT-guided injection of indocyanine green followed by VATS resection within 24 h. Patients tolerated the procedure well, no pain medication was administrated, and no complications were observed during the marking procedure. All pulmonary nodules were easily detected and successfully resected.
conclusionthe near-infrared dye marking solution of indocyanine green (ICG) with diluted human albumin was safe, effective, and easy to perform. The ICG solution has the potential to facilitate the accurate localization and resection of pulmonary nodules during VATS surgery, avoiding the risk of marker displacement/migration.
