Lower Extremity Lymphatic Flow/Drainage Assessment by Indocyanine Green Fluorescent Lymphography in Heart Failure Patients.
Article in JACC. Basic to translational science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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 present a protocol for visualizing lymphatic flow in patients with heart failure (HF) by using indocyanine green fluorescence lymphography. We studied 37 subjects: 20 patients with acute heart failure (AHF) and lower limb edema, 7 patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) without lower limb edema, and 10 control subjects (no HF, no limb edema). All subjects were assessed at rest, and 11 subjects (6 control and 5 with CHF) were assessed again after a 10-minute walk. The lymph flow was visualized in all selected patients without complications. At rest, there was either no lymph flow or minimal lymph flow in all control subjects and patients with CHF, whereas the majority of patients with AHF demonstrated significant lymph flow. This study describes a new method to visualize/assess lymphatic flow in patients with HF, allowing for continuous, real-time tracking of lymphatic flow in the lower extremity.
