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
purposeMagnetic resonance-guided laser-induced thermal therapy (MRgLITT) is currently undergoing initial safety and feasibility clinical studies for the treatment of intracranial lesions in humans. As studies progress towards evaluation of treatment efficacy, predictive computational models may play an important role for prospective 3D treatment planning. The current work critically evaluates a computational model of laser induced bioheat transfer against retrospective multiplanar MR thermal imaging (MRTI) in a canine model of the MRgLITT procedure in the brain.
methodsA 3D finite element model of the bioheat transfer that couples Pennes equation to a diffusion theory approximation of light transport in tissue is used. The laser source is modelled conformal with the applicator geometry. Dirichlet boundary conditions are used to model the temperature of the actively cooled catheter. The MRgLITT procedure was performed on n = 4 canines using a 1-cm diffusing tip 15-W diode laser (980 nm). A weighted L₂norm is used as the metric of comparison between the spatiotemporal MR-derived temperature estimates and model prediction.
resultsThe normalised error history between the computational models and MRTI was within 1-4 standard deviations of MRTI noise. Active cooling models indicate that the applicator temperature has a strong effect on the maximum temperature reached, but does not significantly decrease the tissue temperature away from the active tip.
conclusionsResults demonstrate the computational model of the bioheat transfer may provide a reasonable approximation of the laser-tissue interaction, which could be useful for treatment planning, but cannot readily replace MR temperature imaging in a complex environment such as the brain.
