Uncertainty analysis and optimization of laser thermal pain treatment.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Uncertainty in operating parameters during laser thermal pain treatment can yield unreliable results. To ensure reliability and effectiveness, we performed uncertainty analysis and optimization on these parameters. Firstly, we conducted univariate analysis to identify significant operational parameters. Next, an agent model using RBNN regression determined the relationship between these parameters, the constraint function, and the target function. Using interval uncertainty analysis, we obtained confidence distributions and established a nonlinear interval optimization model. Introducing RPDI transformed the model into a deterministic optimization approach. Solving this with a genetic algorithm yielded an optimal solution. The results demonstrate that this solution significantly enhances treatment efficacy while ensuring temperature control stability and reliability. Accounting for parameter uncertainties is crucial for achieving dependable and effective laser thermal pain treatment. These findings have important implications for advancing the clinical application of this treatment and enhancing patient outcomes.
