Drainage of liver abscess guided by ultrasound combined with three-dimensional visualization technology and ICG fluorescence navigation technology: a case report.
Article in BMC surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLiver abscess is a common digestive system disorder primarily caused by bacterial infection. Effective treatment often involves drainage, in which ultrasound technology is commonly used to guide puncture and drainage procedures. However, ultrasound has inherent limitations such as suboptimal visualization of abscess boundaries and adjacent vascular anatomy. Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence navigation and three-dimensional (3D) visualization are two intraoperative navigation technologies that, when integrated with ultrasound, overcome these constraints. This synergy improves localization accuracy and abscess size assessment, thereby reducing procedural complexity. CASE DESCRIPTION: This article details the case of a 61-year-old male patient hospitalized for a 4-day history of fever of unknown origin, ultimately diagnosed with a pyogenic liver abscess. Preoperative management included standardized antibiotic therapy. The patient subsequently underwent concurrent laparoscopic abscess fenestration and drainage with cholecystectomy. Intraoperative precision localization of the liver abscess was achieved through ultrasound-guided ICG fluorescence imaging integrated with 3D visualization technology, ensuring successful surgical completion. During the 3-month postoperative follow-up, the patient developed no complications.
conclusionICG fluorescence imaging and 3D visualization technologies demonstrate clinical utility in the management of liver abscesses, providing valuable insights for laparoscopic surgical intervention.
