1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo investigate the accuracy of laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG), a noninvasive method for the quantitative evaluation of blood flow using mean blur rate (MBR) as a blood flow parameter in the assessment of bowel blood perfusion compared to indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA).

methodsWe enrolled 46 patients who underwent left-sided colorectal surgery. LSFG and ICG-FA were applied to assess blood bowel perfusion, with MBR and luminance as parameters, respectively. In both measurement methods, the position where the parameter suddenly decreased was defined as the blood flow boundary line. Subsequently, the blood flow boundaries created after processing the blood vessels flowing into the intestinal tract were determined using LSFG and ICG-FA, and concordance between the two was examined. Blood flow boundaries were visually identified using color tone changes on a color map created based on MBR in LSFG and using differences in luminance in ICG-FA. The distances between the transection line and blood flow boundaries determined using each method were compared.

resultsThe location of blood flow boundaries matched in 65% (30/46) of cases. Although locations differed in the remaining 35% (16/46), all were located on the anal side near the transection line, and the difference was not clinically significant. The average distances between the transection line and blood flow boundary were 2.76 (SD = 3.25) and 3.71 (SD = 4.26) mm, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.38).

conclusionLSFG was shown to have comparable accuracy to ICG-FA, and may be useful for evaluating bowel perfusion.
