Pulsed thulium laser blood vessel haemostasis as an alternative to bipolar forceps during neurosurgical tumour resection.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Due to wavelength-specific water absorption, infrared lasers like the thulium laser emitting at 1940 nm wavelength proved to be suitable for coagulation in neurosurgery. Commonly bipolar forceps used for intraoperative haemostasis can cause mechanical and thermal tissue damage, whilst thulium laser can provide a tissue-gentle haemostasis through non-contact coagulation. The aim of this work is a less-damaging blood vessel coagulation by pulsed thulium laser radiation in comparison to standard bipolar forceps haemostasis. Ex vivo porcine blood vessels in brain tissue (0.34 ± 0.20 mm diameter) were irradiated in non-contact with a thulium laser in pulsed mode (1940 nm wavelength, 15 W power, 100-500 ms pulse duration), with a CO
