Minimally invasive iliosacral sentinel lymph node mapping and extirpation: A canine cadaveric study.
Article in Veterinary surgery : VS, 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
objectiveTo develop and describe a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approach to access, identify, and extirpate lymph nodes within the iliosacral lymph node center following sentinel lymph node mapping (SLNM). STUDY
designExperimental canine cadaveric study. ANIMALS: Six canine cadavers.
methodsPreoperative computed tomography (CT) with indirect CT-lymphography (CTL) was followed by MIS SLNM utilizing a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye with iliosacral nodal dissection and extirpation. Each cadaver was positioned in supported sternal recumbency for all procedures. Ports were placed bilaterally in the dorsal flank. All findings and complications were recorded.
resultsAll sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) identified on CTL were identified on laparoscopic SLNM and were amenable to dissection and extirpation. In total, 37/40 iliosacral nodes identified on CT were also identified via the MIS approach. A median of 3.5 lymph nodes (range: 2-4) were extirpated per dog. No intraoperative complications occurred.
conclusionThe MIS approach enabled identification and extirpation of lymph nodes within the iliosacral nodal center, with incorporation of SLNM of the anal sac via NIR imaging. Positioning in supported sternal recumbency with cannulas placed within the dorsal flanks allowed for effective access to all iliosacral lymph node locations. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Further evaluation of SLNM via MIS in supported sternal recumbency in clinical dogs with apocrine gland anal sac adenocarcinoma is warranted in an effort to provide optimized staging information with a minimally invasive approach as compared to open surgery.
