Indocyanine Green (ICG) Fluorescence-Assisted Open Surgery Using the Rubina
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionThere are scarce papers about the use of fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) in the open surgical field. This study aimed to assess the usefulness of FGS in an open setting in the pediatric population and to report our preliminary experience using the Rubina
methodsAll patients undergoing ICG fluorescence-assisted open surgery over the period September 2022-September 2023 were enrolled. Each surgical procedure was performed using the Rubina
resultsA total of 25 patients, 14 boys and 11 girls with a median age at surgery of 5.8 years-old (range 0-15), were enrolled. Surgical indications were dermoid/epidermoid cysts of the head (
conclusionsBased on this initial experience, FGS using the Rubina
