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
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence with indocyanine green (ICG) is increasingly used in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, but its value for lymph node identification during pancreatic lymphadenectomy remains uncertain. We describe intralesional ICG injection to aid lymph node detection during laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. After pancreatic exposure, 1 mL of ICG (8 mg/mL) was injected intralesionally. NIR imaging delineated peripancreatic lymphatic drainage and highlighted fluorescent lymph nodes, serving as a real-time adjunct during anatomical lymphadenectomy (stations 11p, 8a, 15 and peripancreatic nodal tissue). The postoperative course was uneventful; final pathology showed advanced nodal disease (pN2). This technical note summarizes key operative steps and practical considerations; in this single case, fluorescence served as a real-time adjunct to anatomical lymphadenectomy, while its quantitative impact on nodal yield remains to be defined prospectively.
