Investigation of random lasing as a feedback mechanism for tissue differentiation during laser surgery.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Laser surgery provides clean, fast and accurate cutting of tissue. However, it is difficult to detect what kind of tissue is being cut. Therefore, a wrong cut may lead to iatrogenic damage of structures. A feedback system should automatically stop the cutting process when a nerve is reached or accidentally being cut to prevent its damage. This could increase the applicability and safety of using a laser scalpel in surgical procedures. In this study, random lasing (RL) is used to differentiate between skin, fat, muscle and nerve tissue. Among these tissue types, a special emphasis is made on the differentiation of nerve from the rest of the tissues, especially fat since nerve is covered by a fatty layer. The differentiation is done for ex-vivo tissues of a pig animal model. The results show that random lasing can be used to differentiate these tissue types also under room light conditions in open air.
