Utility of intraoperative fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green for diagnosing spinal schwannoma: A case report.

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
Background: The delayed-window indocyanine green (DWICG) technique is useful for the removal of brain and spinal tumors. Case Description: A 41-year-old female presented with lower left back and radicular pain. An magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an extramedullary L3 lesion located ventrally in the spinal canal that appeared to be a schwannoma. Intravenous indocyanine green (dose, 0.25 mg/kg) was administered 1 h before the L2-L4 laminectomy and L3/L4 posterior lumbar fusion. At surgery utilizing a strong near-infrared (NIR) signal, the tumor was clearly visualized through the dura. Complete tumor excision was confirmed when the NIR signal could no longer be detected. Pathologically, the lesion proved to be a schwannoma. A postoperative MRI scan further confirmed complete tumor excision. Conclusion: In a 41-year-old female, the DWICG technique intraoperatively facilitated localization of a L3 schwannoma through the dura and expedited gross total tumor removal.
