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
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is able to provide high resolution volumetric data for biological tissues. However, the field of view (FOV) of OCT is sometimes smaller than the field of interest, which limits the clinical application of OCT. One way to overcome the drawback is to stitch multiple 3D volumes. In this paper, we propose a novel method to register multiple overlapped volumetric OCT data into a single volume. The relative positions of overlapped volumes were estimated on en face plane and at depth. On en face plane, scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) was implemented to extract the keypoints in each volume. Based on the invariant features, volumes were paired through keypoint matching. Then, we formulated the relationship between paired offsets and absolute positions as a linear model and estimated the centroid of each volume using least square method. Moreover, we calibrated the depth displacement in each paired volume and aligned the z coordinates of volumes globally. The algorithm was validated through stitching multiple volumetric OCT datasets of human cervix tissue and of swine heart. The experimental results demonstrated that our method is capable of visualizing biological samples over a wider FOV, which enhances the investigation of tissue structure such as fiber orientation.
