Intraoperative Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Angiography for Real-Time Validation of Carotid Artery Patency Following Resection of Advanced Carotid Body Tumors.

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
Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare paragangliomas arising at the carotid bifurcation, with Shamblin III lesions posing substantial operative risk due to circumferential arterial encasement. When arterial resection and reconstruction are required, reliable confirmation of carotid perfusion is essential. This is the case of a 24-year-old male patient with a right-sided Shamblin III CBT managed with preoperative embolization, segmental internal fluorescence-guided carotid artery resection, and end-to-end reconstruction. Intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) demonstrated immediate, homogeneous perfusion across the reconstructed segment, with no delay or focal hypofluorescence. The postoperative course was uneventful, with no neurologic or vascular complications. This case illustrates the potential role of intraoperative ICG-FA as a real-time adjunct to confirm carotid patency and perfusion following complex vascular tumor resection.
