Reciprocating Side-Firing Fiber for Laser Sealing of Blood Vessels.
Article in Proceedings of SPIE--the International Society for Optical Engineering. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Infrared lasers may provide faster and more precise sealing of blood vessels and with lower jaw temperatures than ultrasonic and electrosurgical devices. This study explores an oscillating or reciprocating side-firing optical fiber method for transformation of a circular laser beam into a linear beam, necessary for integration into a standard 5-mm-diameter laparoscopic device, and for uniform irradiation perpendicular to the vessel length. A servo motor connected to a side-firing, 550-μm-core fiber, provided linear translation of a 2.0-mm-diameter circular beam over either 5 mm or 11 mm scan lengths for sealing small or large vessels, respectively. Laser seals were performed, ex vivo, on a total of 20 porcine renal arteries of 1-6 mm diameter (n = 10 samples for each scan length). Each vessel was compressed to a fixed 0.4-mm-thickness, matching the 1470-nm laser optical penetration depth. Vessels were irradiated with fluences ranging from 636 J/cm
