Unexpected black-stained lymph nodes: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 and importanceCurrently, radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer is usually combined with lymph node tracing technology to ensure the complete removal of metastatic lymph nodes. Our case demonstrates that bismuth compounds may be useful as lymph node tracers in radical gastrectomy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 37-year-old man who was confirmed the diagnosis of gastric cancer was found to have black-stained lymph nodes during the surgical resection. The patient's medication history, pathological analysis and Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) confirmed the presence of dark particle deposited in the black-stained lymph nodes and the black particles were likely some form of bismuth compound. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: At present, lymph node tracers used in clinical practice have certain unavoidable limitations. It is necessary to discover new lymph node tracers.
conclusionour case highlights a new potential avenue for the development of lymph node tracers in radical gastrectomy. However, it is essential to remain vigilant regarding the possible adverse consequences of overdose in clinical practice.
