Miniaturized omnidirectional flexible side-view endoscope for rapid monitoring of thin tubular biostructures.
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 3 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
Endoscopic imaging allows longitudinal observation of epithelial pathologies in tubular organs throughout the body. However, the imaging and optical diagnosis of tubular biostructures such as small animal models and small pediatric organs require appropriately miniaturized devices. A miniaturized catadioptric flexible side-view endoscope is proposed with omnidirectional field of view (FOV) in the transverse direction and sub-mm-scale feature resolution. The FOV in the longitudinal direction is 50°. Images are unwrapped and stitched together to form composite images of the target by two different algorithms, revealing a composite FOV of more than 3.5 cm × 360°. The endoscope is well suited for minimally invasive rapid monitoring of thin tubular organs in pediatric patients, as well as for imaging of small animal disease models at near-cellular resolution.
