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

We report a novel fluorescence-guided approach for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in a completely endophytic renal tumor. A 73-year-old woman with a 3-cm entirely endophytic left renal mass underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous intratumoral indocyanine green injection after failure of selective arterial embolization. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging allowed accurate intraoperative localization and complete tumor enucleation. Operative time was 125 minutes, with a warm ischemia time of 25 minutes. The postoperative course was uneventful, renal function was preserved, and histopathology confirmed renal oncocytoma. Percutaneous intratumoral indocyanine green injection represents a safe and effective alternative for fluorescence-guided nephron-sparing surgery in anatomically challenging endophytic renal tumors.
