1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThis study aimed to update the literature and present findings from a national survey on the current use and perceived utility of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging in laparoscopic and robotic kidney surgeries, as discussed at the Consensus Meeting on Anatomy on the Border.

methodsThis study consisted of two parts. First, a narrative review of previous studies on ICG application in kidney surgeries was conducted. Second, a questionnaire for urologists certified in laparoscopic surgery was created to evaluate current practices regarding ICG usage.

resultsNine studies on ICG use in partial nephrectomy were reviewed. The sole randomized controlled trial (RCT) found no significant benefit of ICG-guided robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), although the majority of observational studies suggested potential advantages. The lack of methodological standardization remains a major barrier to its wider implementation. Of the 114 urologists contacted, 32 (28%) responded, most of whom had over 20 years of surgical experience. Among the respondents, 31% reported using ICG in renal surgeries: 20% used it exclusively in RAPN, 60% in RAPN in combination with other procedures, and 20% in other surgeries. The dosing varied, but over half of the respondents used 12.5 mg per injection.

conclusionAlthough observational data indicate the potential utility of ICG in renal surgery, the RCT finding is inconclusive, and its current use among urologists remains limited. Nevertheless, ICG holds promise for a broader application in urological procedures.
