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: Type II endoleaks (T2ELs) are a common finding after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), often caused by retrograde flow from the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). Although transarterial embolisation is standard, laparoscopic IMA ligation may provide a definitive alternative in selected cases. Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) adds real time vascular visualisation, helping the identification and confirmation of successful ligation. This report illustrates the potential benefit of Indocyanine green guided laparoscopic IMA clipping for managing T2ELs. Technique: The case of a 69 year old man with an abdominal aortic aneurysm who underwent emergency EVAR for a ruptured left iliac artery aneurysm is presented. At two year follow up, computed tomography angiography revealed a persistent T2EL originating from the IMA, resulting in abdominal aortic aneurysm growth. Given the aneurysm's progression, laparoscopic IMA clipping using ICG-FA was performed. The IMA was identified, and ICG-FA was used to confirm its precise location before applying ligation clips to occlude the vessel. Successful exclusion was further confirmed with repeated ICG-FA. Post-operative recovery was uneventful, and no endoleaks were detected on follow up imaging (computed tomography angiography). Discussion: ICG-FA laparoscopic clipping of the IMA may offer a safe and effective treatment option in selected cases for persistent T2ELs after EVAR. Compared with endovascular options, it allows direct exclusion of the inflow vessel with real time visual confirmation. ICG-FA can provide real time functional imaging of vascular perfusion, enabling intra-operative identification of the IMA and objective confirmation of successful vessel occlusion. Its integration is practical, widely accessible, and may increase the safety and confidence of laparoscopic IMA ligation in selected patients.
