The safety of indocyanine green in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease or kidney transplantation: a scoping review.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) is increasingly being used in the field of image-guided surgery. Although ICG is considered non-nephrotoxic in current literature, caution is advised for the use of ICG in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), including kidney transplant recipients. Therefore, a scoping review was performed to assess the safety of ICG in patients with advanced CKD or a renal allograft. This scoping review was guided by the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews). Web of Science, PubMed, and Embase were searched for articles and abstracts in which ICG was administered in patients with CKD or a renal allograft. The extracted data included the incidence of adverse events, kidney function after injection of ICG, preservation of transplant function, and type of other possible complications. The initial search resulted in 635 records of which 19 studies were found eligible for the review. ICG was used for multiple purposes but never specifically as an objective to investigate possible nephrotoxicity. No adverse events were reported in the transplant group (
