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

Backgrounds/Aims: Liver transplantation (LT) is now a critical, life-saving treatment for patients with liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite its significant benefits, biliary complications (BCs) continue to be a major cause of postoperative morbidity. This study evaluates the fluorescence intensity (FI) of the common bile duct (CBD) utilizing near-infrared indocyanine green (ICG) imaging, and examines its association with the incidence of BCs within three months post-LT. Methods: This investigation analyzed data from nine living donor LT (LDLT) recipients who were administered 0.05 mg/kg of ICG prior to bile duct anastomosis. Real-time perfusion of the CBD was recorded for three minutes using an ICG camera, and FI was quantified using Image J (National Institutes of Health). Key parameters assessed included F max, F Results: BCs occurred in two out of nine patients. These two patients exhibited the longest T Conclusions: The study indicates that ICG fluorescence imaging may serve as an effective tool for assessing bile duct perfusion in LDLT patients. While the data suggest that an extended T
