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

significanceRaman spectroscopy has been developed for surgical guidance applications interrogating live tissue during tumor resection procedures to detect molecular contrast consistent with cancer pathophysiological changes. To date, the vibrational spectroscopy systems developed for medical applications include single-point measurement probes and intraoperative microscopes. There is a need to develop systems with larger fields of view (FOVs) for rapid intraoperative cancer margin detection during surgery.

aimWe design a handheld macroscopic Raman imaging system for in vivo tissue margin characterization and test its performance in a model system. APPROACH: The system is made of a sterilizable line scanner employing a coherent fiber bundle for relaying excitation light from a 785-nm laser to the tissue. A second coherent fiber bundle is used for hyperspectral detection of the fingerprint Raman signal over an area of 1  cm2. Machine learning classifiers were trained and validated on porcine adipose and muscle tissue.

resultsPorcine adipose versus muscle margin detection was validated ex vivo with an accuracy of 99% over the FOV of 95  mm2 in ∼3  min using a support vector machine.

conclusionsThis system is the first large FOV Raman imaging system designed to be integrated in the workflow of surgical cancer resection. It will be further improved with the aim of discriminating brain cancer in a clinically acceptable timeframe during glioma surgery.
