LED light source for fluorescence endoscopy using quantum dots.

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
We present an LED light source for use with standard clinical endoscopes to enable visualization of tissues labeled with quantum dots (QDs). QD-assisted endoscopy may improve the outcome of surgical endoscopic procedures by identifying specific tissue types. QDs offer several advantages over current fluorescent stains due to their high target selectivity, long-lasting fluorescence, large excitation and narrow emission bands, and multiplexing capabilities. The prototype presented is compact, modular in design, and was built at low cost making it competitive with commercially available light sources. The device's efficiency is evaluated by measuring light intensity at discreet locations and by successfully illuminating a chicken tissue sample non-specifically labeled with a 250nM or 500nM QD solution. Ultimately, this device serves as a step towards incorporating QDs into real time, image-guided surgical procedures.
