A review on radiofrequency, laser, and microwave ablations and their thermal monitoring through fiber Bragg gratings.
Review in iScience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Thermal ablation of tumors aims to apply extreme temperatures inside the target tissue to achieve substantial tumor destruction in a minimally invasive manner. Several techniques are comprised, classified according to the type of energy source. However, the lack of treatment selectivity still needs to be addressed, potentially causing two risks: i) incomplete tumor destruction and recurrence, or conversely, ii) damage of the surrounding healthy tissue. Therefore, the research herein reviewed seeks to develop sensing systems based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) for thermal monitoring inside the lesion during radiofrequency, laser, and microwave ablation. This review shows that, mainly thanks to multiplexing and minimal invasiveness, FBGs provide an optimal sensing solution. Their temperature measurements are the feedback to control the ablation process and allow to investigate different treatments, compare their outcomes, and quantify the impact of factors such as proximity to thermal probe and blood vessels, perfusion, and tissue type.
