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
During thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy, identification of the target segmental bronchus can occasionally be difficult. We devised a new method to overcome this difficulty. Immediately before surgery, the target segmental bronchus was marked with indocyanine green using bronchoscopy and identified intraoperatively using near-infrared fluorescence thoracoscopic imaging. Eleven consecutive patients underwent thoracoscopic segmentectomy between August 2023 and April 2024. The target segmental bronchi were successfully marked with indocyanine green in 10 cases (success rate: 90.9%) and clearly identified during surgery. In all cases, the target segmental bronchi were correctly divided without the use of intraoperative bronchoscopy; thus, the planned segmentectomies were accomplished without conversion to lobectomy. This novel technique using indocyanine green can facilitate identification of the target segmental bronchus during thoracoscopic segmentectomy.
