1.7 micron optical coherence tomography for vaginal tissue characterization in vivo.
Article in Lasers in surgery and medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06691178 (Continuous Monitoring and Management of Vaginal Health Via Multifunctional OCT/OCTA/OCE Endoscopy, a Randomized Controlled Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 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.

Abstract
objectivesOptical coherence tomography (OCT) can noninvasively visualize in vivo tissue microstructure with high spatial resolution that approaches the histologic level. Currently, OCT studies in gynecology are few and limited to a conventional 1.3 μm center wavelength swept light source which provides high spatial resolution but limited penetration depth. Here, we present a novel endoscopic OCT system with improved penetration depth and high resolution.
methodsA novel endoscopic OCT system was developed based on a 1.7 µm swept source laser, which is capable of deeper tissue penetration due to its longer wavelength. To evaluate the performance of system, we imaged the human vaginas in vivo with both conventional 1.3 and 1.7 μm endoscopic OCT systems.
resultsWith the 1.7 μm endoscopic OCT system, imaging depth was improved by more than 25%, allowing better visualization of the lamina propria and clear contrast of the epithelial layer from the surrounding tissues.
conclusionThe significantly improved performance of the novel 1.7 μm OCT imaging system demonstrates its potential use as a minimally-invasive monitoring tool of vaginal health in gynecologic practice. Lasers Surg. Med. 51:120-126, 2019. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
