Reduction of collateral thermal impact of diode laser irradiation on soft tissue due to modified application parameters.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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 aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different working modes (pulsed and micropulsed) and power settings of a standardized 980-nm diode laser on collateral thermal soft-tissue damage. A total of 108 bovine liver samples were cut with a diode laser at various settings in pulsed and micropulsed mode and histologically assessed to determine the area and depth of carbonization, necrosis and reversible tissue damage, as well as incision depth and width. Incision depth and width and the area and depth of carbonization, necrosis and reversible damage were correlated strongly with cutting speed. The area and depth of reversible damage were correlated with average power. The micropulsed mode produced a smaller zone of carbonization and necrosis and a smaller incision width. Setting the laser parameters in accordance with the absorption characteristics of the tissue reduced collateral thermal tissue damage while maintaining an acceptable cutting ability. Reducing collateral thermal damage from diode laser incisions is clinically relevant for promoting wound healing.
