Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography for renal tumor detection in
Article in Optics and lasers in engineering, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Kidney cancer is a kind of high mortality cancer because of the difficulty in early diagnosis and the high metastatic dissemination in treatments. The surgical resection of tumors is the most effective treatment for renal cancer patients. However, precise assessment of tumor margins is a challenge during surgical resection. The objective of this study is to demonstrate an optical imaging tool in precisely distinguishing kidney tumor borders and identifying tumor zones from normal tissues to assist surgeons in accurately resecting tumors from kidneys during the surgery. 30 samples from six human kidneys were imaged using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT).
