Thermal endoscope based on cost-effective LWIR camera cores.
Article in HardwareX, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The implementation of a thermal endoscope based on the LWIR camera cores Lepton and a custom miniaturized electronics is reported. The sensor and the PCB can be inserted into a cylindrical protective case of diameter down to 15mm, inox tube or plastic, 3D printable envelope, with an optical window in Germanium. Two PCBs were developed for assembling the endoscope in two different schemes, to enable frontal or lateral thermal vision setup. The thermal endoscope unit is controlled by a Raspberry external unit. The Infrared Vision Software is provided for controlling the acquisition of thermal frames, and for the thermographic calculation of the object temperature from the input parameters on object surface emissivity and environment. In general, the device enables to perform thermography in applications in which traditional larger equipment cannot be employed, as nondestructive diagnostics in confined space in the engineering field. The thermal endoscope was designed with dimensions also compatible for robotic-assisted/traditional minimally-invasive surgery.
