Optical coherence tomography diagnostics for onco-urology. Review of clinical perspectives.
Review in Central European journal of urology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionOptical coherence tomography (OCT) is being investigated widely for use in urologic pathology. The current imaging of urogenital cancers cannot be perfect, thus, routine methods demands new updates or inventions of alternative radiological scope. OCT presents so-called "live" optical biopsy. The authors aim to review this modality for uro-oncological purposes. MATERIAL AND
methods[corrected] A series of 37 publications between 1989 and 2012 was selected and cited from GoogleScholar and PubMED/MEDLINE. The urogenital tract (bladder, ureter, scrotum organs and prostate) was imaged by OCT.
resultsThe overall OCT sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative and positive predictive values ranged a lot on example of the urinary bladder's tumors screening. The data were 75-100%, 65-97.9%, 92%, 75%, 100%, respectively. Notwithstanding, a diagnostic importance of OCT may be comparable with urine cytology, cystoscopy, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
conclusionsOCT demonstrated its imaging potential, while till the present OCT plays role of an additional imaging. Future progress of OCT involvement in experimental and clinical once-urological diagnostics is needed under high evidence control.
