Comparative study of soft tissue surgery by visible and infrared laser radiation.
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 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
To compare the cutting properties of lasers with different wavelengths (445 nm, 532 nm and 808 nm) used in cutting blood-rich tissues. Porcine myocardial tissue was cut using 2.3-15 W laser radiation in contact and non-contact modes with an optical fiber or focusing handpiece. The cut depth and coagulation zone width were determined histologically. The 445-nm laser achieved the greatest cut depth for all cutting parameters (p < 0.01). The blue laser gave the smallest coagulation width to cut depth ratio. Results of the study are consistent with the assumption that a 445 nm blue laser may have better cutting properties than green and infrared lasers due to the high absorption of radiation at this wavelength in hemoglobin and, consequently, in the biological blood-rich tissue.
