Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Partial Adrenalectomy Utilizing Intraoperative Indocyanine Green Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging for Pheochromocytoma: A Case Report.
Article in IJU case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Indocyanine green (ICG) near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging facilitates pheochromocytoma identification during adrenal surgery. Case Presentation: We report a 21-year-old woman with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A and bilateral adrenal tumors who underwent ICG-NIRF-guided, robot-assisted partial adrenalectomy for pheochromocytomas. Following left adrenalectomy, partial right adrenalectomy was performed using intraoperative ICG-NIRF imaging. After intravenous administration of 2.5 mg ICG, the normal adrenal cortex exhibited strong fluorescence, whereas the pheochromocytoma showed no fluorescence. However, fluorescence from the overlying normal adrenal cortex partially obscured the tumor, which was identified by intraoperative ultrasonography. Combined ICG-NIRF imaging and ultrasonography enabled maximal preservation of functional adrenal cortex. Postoperatively, metanephrine and normetanephrine levels normalized, and hydrocortisone was tapered and discontinued. Conclusion: ICG-NIRF is a useful adjunct for cortical visualization; however, multimodal guidance is essential for precise tumor delineation during cortical-sparing adrenalectomy.
