Perioperative and oncologic outcomes of the indocyanine green-guided lymphadenectomy versus non-indocyanine green-guided lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer: a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in International journal of surgery protocols, 2026. 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
Backgrounds: Gastric cancer (GC) has a high global incidence and high mortality rate, with lymph node (LN) metastasis worsening prognosis. Indocyanine green (ICG)-guided lymphadenectomy has improved surgical precision over laparoscopic methods, but the safety of its clinical application in the field of GC still needs to be further evaluated. This meta-analysis compared ICG guided and conventional dissection in patients with GC, assessing surgical and survival outcomes to provide clearer clinical guidance. Methods: This study is registered in PROSPERO. We conducted a literature search of the Embase, Pubmed, and Cochrane databases from the time of library construction to July 2025. Long-term survival metrics, intraoperative metrics, short-term adverse event metrics, and postoperative recovery metrics were compared between ICG-guided lymphadenectomy and non-ICG-guided lymphadenectomy. The meta-analysis summarized the odds ratios, weighted mean differences, and 95% confidence intervals. Results: Evidence on the therapeutic effect of ICG-guided LN dissection on GC will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. Conclusion: This study will provide high quality evidence of the effect of ICG on the treatment of GC.
