The neurosurgical benefit of contactless
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose: In brain tumor surgery, it is crucial to achieve complete tumor resection while conserving adjacent noncancerous brain tissue. Several groups have demonstrated that optical coherence tomography (OCT) has the potential of identifying tumorous brain tissue. However, there is little evidence on human Experimental design: Multiple 3-dimensional Results: Visual OCT-scan classification correlated well with histopathological findings. Classification with measured OCT image-properties achieved a balanced accuracy of 85%. A neuronal network approach for scan feature recognition achieved 82% and an auto-encoder approach 85% balanced accuracy. Overall applicability showed need for improvement. Conclusion: Contactless
