1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Identifying positive surgical margins after resection of cancer often triggers re-excision and adjuvant treatments. Incomplete initial resections result in poorer patient outcomes, psychological and financial stress to the patient and increased healthcare costs. Surgical margins are typically assessed post-operatively using time consuming and expensive slide-based histopathology tissue analysis. Currently, a real-time non-contact virtual histology-like intraoperative margin assessment tool is not available. To address this need, we have developed a non-contact multi-wavelength reflection-mode, photoacoustic remote sensing (PARS) microscope demonstrating chromophore selective contrast in human tissues. We show the capabilities of multi-wavelength PARS microscopy utilizing both 266 nm and 532 nm excitation wavelengths and a 1310 nm detection wavelength. Cell nuclei and hemoglobin were visualized at the cellular scale without the addition of exogenous contrast agents. These works provide a critical step towards a virtual histology tool to provide intraoperative histology-like information in living tissue.
