Quantitative optical coherence tomography of fluid-filled oral mucosal lesions.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 decision of selecting the most representative site for the biopsy of fluid-filled lesions can be difficult. This may be attributed to the poor delineation of the correct lesional site by clinical observation alone. In this study, optical coherence tomography is used to quantify the contrast between solid- and fluid-filled lesions by measuring the light intensity change at the tissue-fluid interface (intensity drop). This parameter was measured from sequential axial scans (n ≈ 10(6) per sample) of 3D optical coherence tomography (OCT) datasets from control tissues (n = 14) and fluid-filled lesions (n = 7) and displayed as a 2D-scaled intensity drop (SID) image. The results of the SID image allowed for discrimination, characterisation and extent of a fluid filled region. The differentiation of normal and fluid-filled areas using individual SID values yielded both a sensitivity and specificity of approximately 80 %. OCT complemented by SID analysis provides a potential in vivo clinical tool that would enable non-invasive objective visualisation of the oral mucosa.
