Optical biopsy of bladder cancer using confocal laser endomicroscopy.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveConfocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is an emerging endoscopic technique that can provide in vivo histopathologic information. It may improve the diagnostic criteria for benign and neoplastic lesions of the bladder. In this study, we reported our experience with utilizing CLE imaging when treating bladder neoplasms, and investigated its diagnostic value with respect to histologic diagnosis. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty-one patients scheduled for diagnostic cystoscopy or transurethral resection of the bladder tumor were enrolled prospectively. CLE was performed after intravesical fluorescein administration and confocal video sequences were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. Histopathology served as reference standard for comparison.
resultsConfocal laser endomicroscopy-based classification combined with white light cystoscopy (WLC) images was consistent with histopathology in 17 cases (81.0%). Consensus with histopathological results was found in six cases (85.7%) for low-grade urothelial carcinoma and eight cases (80.0%) for high-grade urothelial carcinoma.
conclusionConfocal laser endomicroscopy was proved to be a useful technique that could complement white light cystoscopy by providing real-time histopathological information of bladder lesions.
