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

Background: Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) utilizing near-infrared (NIR) technology is a powerful technique for enhancing intraoperative visualization and safety. The Endolumik Gastric Calibration Tube (EGCT) is a novel device integrating NIR LEDs and fluorescence-guided measurement markings to support key steps in bariatric procedures. Case Presentation: We demonstrate the utilization of the EGCT in a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) procedure for a 55-year-old female patient with a BMI of 45 kg/m Discussion: This case highlights the feasibility of fluorescence-guided calibration during gastric bypass and its potential to support intraoperative workflows. The EGCT served as a multifunctional device for gastric suction, gastric calibration, and leak testing; it enhanced the visibility of gastric architecture and helped standardized gastric pouch construction. Further investigation is required to evaluate the device's impact on safety and other clinical outcomes.
