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

Adequate perfusion is essential to prevent anastomotic leakage in intestinal and rectal surgeries. This study compares Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) and Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Angiography (ICG-FA) for assessing blood flow in intestinal anastomoses during robot-assisted surgeries in pigs. Intestinal perfusion was evaluated in three pigs using LSCI and ICG-FA, before and after clamping the main arterial supply, with measurements taken across ten regions of interest (ROIs). Pearson correlation coefficients were used to compare the two techniques. ROIs were normalized for analysis to facilitate direct comparison of the perfusion patterns. The results showed a strong correlation between the maximum fluorescence intensity from ICG-FA and LSCI values after clamping (r = 0.7293), with comparable perfusion patterns observed post-unclamping. LSCI provides continuous monitoring, while ICG-FA captures contrast-enhanced snapshots, explaining weaker correlations for static values. No significant difference was found in normalized measurements between the two methods. This study supports the use of both LSCI and ICG-FA in clinical practice, highlighting their complementary roles in assessing perfusion during surgeries. Further research is needed to explore their combined utility.
