Figure 2 Lymph node labeling effectiveness(A) Bar graph showing the lymph node labeling rate in each group. The nano-carbon labeling group achieved a significantly higher labeling rate (P=0.015). (B) Comparison of staining intensity scores (scale 1–5), demonstrating that the nano-carbon group exhibited significantly greater clarity in lymph node visualization (P=0.032).
