Indocyanine Green Fluorescence-Guided Knee Arthroscopy: A Technical Note for Investigating the Microvasculature Around the Meniscus.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Vascularity of the meniscus is the most important key to meniscal tear healing. However, blood supply to the meniscus is limited to approximately the outer 10% to 25% of the meniscus, known as the "red-red zone." The cyanine dye indocyanine green (ICG) is commonly used as a contrast imaging agent for visualizing vascularity in several medical fields. Moreover, ICG fluorescence-guided surgery is a modern trend in the field of laparoscopic surgery in which the characteristic of fluorescence enhancement under a near-infrared light is used. However, ICG fluorescence-guided knee arthroscopy findings remain unknown. In this Technical Note, the author applied ICG fluorescence-guided surgery to knee arthroscopy to evaluate blood supply to the meniscus and intra-articular apparatus. Additionally, the arthroscopic findings of ICG fluorescence-guided knee arthroscopy for degenerative tears of the medial meniscus before and after meniscal repair are presented. Through the intravenous injection of ICG solution, real-time detection of fluorescence may contribute to investigating case-specific vascularization of the meniscus during arthroscopy in the next generation.
