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
In human laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery, near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) indocyanine green (ICG) is commonly employed for intraoperative cholangiography to delineate anatomical structures; however, it is not yet used in veterinary medicine. This is the first veterinary case of ICG cholangiography used to confirm common bile duct (CBD) patency in a dog with a ruptured gallbladder mucocele (GBM). A 10-year-old female dog presented with lethargy and anorexia. Blood analysis revealed increased ALT, ALP, GGT, total bilirubin and C-reactive protein levels. Ultrasonography revealed a ruptured GBM. To evaluate CBD patency during surgery, ICG 0.05 mg/kg was injected intravenously 3 h preoperatively. During cholecystectomy, real-time NIRF image of ICG in the CBD showed a filling defect, indicating a partial obstruction within the lumen. After gentle massaging manipulation, CBD patency was confirmed using the NIRF image. No catheterisation or flushing of the CBD was required. The patient showed no relevant clinical signs of biliary stasis 5 months post-surgery. Intraoperative ICG cholangiography efficiently and easily assessed CBD patency in real-time. In this case, CBD patency was achieved by external manipulation with the surgeon's fingers. Therefore, catheterisation or flushing was not necessary. Since enterotomy or cholecystectomy was unnecessary, complications from the leakage of intestinal content or bile were avoided.
