Real-time intraoperative perfusion assessment using indocyanine green fluorescence angiography as a predictor of anastomotic integrity in colorectal surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
The purpose of this study was to assess the association of intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography with anastomotic leakage and surgical decision-making after colorectal resection. The systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidance. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for randomized and observational comparative studies reporting anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgery with or without ICG fluorescence assessment. Fourteen studies involving 5264 patients were included. The pooled risk ratio (RR) for anastomotic leakage was 0.59 (95% CI: 0.47-0.73;
