Endovenous laser coagulation: asymmetrical heat transfer (modeling in water).
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The objective of this study was to describe the dynamics of water heating carried out by continuous laser radiation with wavelengths 1.47, 1.55, and 1.94 μm with different types of fibers used for endovenous laser coagulation. The study was conducted in water using high-speed surveying of the heating process through the shadow optical method. It has been shown that in the case of highly water-absorbed laser radiations, convection and boiling play a major role in the process of heat transfer. It has been shown that in the case of radiation with λ = 1.94 μm that is heavily absorbed by water, effective heat transfer begins at significantly lower levels of power compared to the weaker-absorbed radiations with λ = 1.47 and 1.55 μm. Mathematical models based only on thermal conductivity inadequately describe the process of real heat transfer during endovenous laser coagulation. It has been established that heat transfer is sharply asymmetrical and is directed mainly up-and-forward (bare-tip fiber) or upward ("radial" and "two-ring" fibers). Heat transfer for laser light with wavelength 1.94 μm is most effective than for 1.47 and 1.55 μm.
