Indocyanine green (ICG)-guided robotic resection for liver adenoma: combined technologies for precision surgery.
Article in Updates in surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
HCA resection is crucial to prevent bleeding and malignant transformation. The aim of this study was to enhance the precision of tumor resection in hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) through the combination of intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) and indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging. ICG was intravenously injected 24 h before surgery, enabling positive staining of HCA nodules. IOUS guided the parenchymal transection performed using the RoboLap approach. IOUS combined with ICG effectively demarcated lesions, allowing precision surgery while sparing healthy liver tissue. Intraoperative frozen examination further validated the potential of ICG to identify previously undetected lesions. The study showed promising advantages of ICG in HCA resections, potentially reducing the risk of recurrence and malignant transformation. The combined robotic and laparoscopic approach improved the feasibility of parenchymal-sparing surgery, offering a cautious assessment of HCA lesions.
