Evaluation of collimated polarized light imaging for real-time intraoperative selective nerve identification in the human hand.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Intraoperative peripheral nerve lesions are common complications due to misidentification and limitations of surgical nerve identification. This study validates a real-time non-invasive intraoperative method of nerve identification. Long working distance collimated polarized light imaging (CPLi) was used to identify peripheral radial nerve branches in a human cadaver hand by their nerve specific anisotropic optical reflection.
