Intraoperative Fluorescent Imaging with Indocyanine Green during Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy with Subcarinal Lymph Node Dissection for Esophageal Cancer with a Right Superior Pulmonary Vein Anomaly: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia, 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
A 68-year-old woman was diagnosed with clinical T3N1M0 middle thoracic esophageal cancer. Preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography indicated a right superior posterior pulmonary vein (RSPPV) anomaly, which ran behind the right intermediate bronchus. The patient underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy with mediastinal lymph node (LN) dissection. Before we began the dissection of the right subcarinal LN, we administered indocyanine green intravenously to confirm the running position of the anomalous RSPPV, and we were able to ascertain its placement accurately with correct recognition of the difference between the blood vessels and surrounding tissue. Although the patient had LN metastasis adjacent to this anomalous vessel and the dissection procedure was tough due to tightly adhesion, intraoperative fluorescent imaging enabled us to perform the dissection without any superfluous vascular injury. Intraoperative fluorescent imaging is very useful in such cases, providing accurate intraoperative information on the location of the anomaly and facilitating safer surgery.
