Handheld projective imaging device for near-infrared fluorescence imaging and intraoperative guidance of sentinel lymph node resection.
Article in Journal of biomedical optics, 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
We propose a handheld projective imaging device for orthotopic projection of near-infrared fluorescence images onto target biological tissue at visible wavelengths without any additional visual aid. The device integrates a laser diode light source module, a camera module, a projector, an ultrasonic distance sensor, a Raspberry Pi single-board computer, and a battery module in a rugged handheld unit. It is calibrated at the detected working distance for seamless coregistration between fluorescence emission and projective imaging at the target tissue site. The proposed device is able to achieve a projection resolution higher than 314 μm and a planar projection bias less than 1 mm at a projection field of view of 58 × 108 mm2 and a working distance of 27 cm. Technical feasibility for projective imaging is verified in an ex vivo model of chicken breast tissue using indocyanine green as a fluorescence agent. Clinical utility for image-guided surgery is demonstrated in a clinical trial where sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer patients are identified and resected under the guidance of projective imaging. Our ex vivo and in vivo experiments imply the clinical utility of deploying the proposed device for image-guided surgical interventions in resource-limited settings.
