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

Introduction: We report a case where intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) imaging was utilized to evaluate bladder perfusion, enabling successful bladder preservation and bilateral ureteral reimplantation. Case Presentation: A 49-year-old woman underwent resection of a recurrent pelvic tumor. The tumor involved both ureters and bilateral vesical arteries, which were sacrificed during surgery. ICG fluorescence imaging demonstrated uniform bladder wall perfusion, guiding the decision to proceed with bladder preservation. Postoperatively, contrast-enhanced CT and cystoscopy confirmed preserved bladder perfusion and mucosal integrity. The patient voided spontaneously without dysfunction. Conclusion: Real-time evaluation of bladder perfusion using ICG fluorescence enabled safe bladder preservation in a situation where major vascular supply was compromised. This technique may assist in intraoperative decision-making during complex pelvic surgeries.
