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

objectiveStimulated Raman histology (SRH) offers efficient and accurate intraoperative neuropathological tissue analysis without procedural alteration to the diagnostic specimen. However, there are limited data demonstrating one-to-one tissue comparisons between SRH and traditional frozen sectioning. This study explores the non-inferiority of SRH as compared to frozen section on the same piece of tissue in neurosurgical patients.

methodsTissue was collected over a 1-month period from 18 patients who underwent resection of central nervous system lesions. SRH and frozen section analyses were compared for diagnostic capabilities as well as assessed for quality and condition of tissue via a survey completed by pathologists.

resultsSRH was sufficient for diagnosis in 78% of specimens as compared to 94% of specimens by frozen section of the same specimen. A Fisher's exact test determined there was no significant difference in diagnostic capability between the two groups. Additionally, both quality of SRH and condition of tissue after SRH were deemed to be non-inferior to frozen section.

conclusionsThis study provides further evidence for the non-inferiority of SRH techniques. It is also the first study to demonstrate SRH accuracy using one-to-one tissue analysis in neuropathological specimens.
