Intraoperative characterization of cardiac tissue: the potential of light scattering spectroscopy.
Article in Journal of biomedical optics, 2024. 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
Significance: Damage to the cardiac conduction system remains one of the most significant risks associated with surgical interventions to correct congenital heart disease. This work demonstrates how light-scattering spectroscopy (LSS) can be used to non-destructively characterize cardiac tissue regions. Aim: To present an approach for associating tissue composition information with location-specific LSS data and further evaluate an LSS and machine learning system as a method for non-destructive tissue characterization. Approach: A custom LSS probe was used to gather spectral data from locations across 14 excised human pediatric nodal tissue samples (8 sinus nodes, 6 atrioventricular nodes). The LSS spectra were used to train linear and neural-network-based regressor models to predict tissue composition characteristics derived from the 3D models. Results: Nodal tissue region nuclear densities were reported. A linear model trained to regress nuclear density from spectra achieved a prediction r-squared of 0.64 and a concordance correlation coefficient of 0.78. Conclusions: These methods build on previous studies suggesting that LSS measurements combined with machine learning signal processing can provide clinically relevant cardiac tissue composition.
