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

Ureteric injury is a serious complication of gynaecological surgery, particularly in cases involving deep endometriosis. This prospective cohort study assessed the feasibility and safety of intra-ureteric indocyanine green (ICG) for real-time ureteric visualisation in complex endometriosis surgery at a tertiary referral unit. Fifty consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic procedures received cystoscopy-guided bilateral intra-ureteric ICG. Mean additional operative time was 160 seconds. Bilateral ureteric fluorescence was achieved in all cases and persisted throughout surgery. Guidewires and intra-operative stents were required in 2% and 4% of cases, respectively. No ICG-related adverse events or ureteric injuries occurred, demonstrating a rapid, safe and reproducible technique.
