Safety assessment of electrosurgical electrodes by using mini pig tissue.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Electrosurgical electrodes are the main dissecting devices widely used for surgeries throughout the world. The present study aimed to evaluate the thermal injury and safety within animals' organs following a minimally invasive electrosurgery technique with electrosurgical electrode AE40-300 (LIPO) and AE20-80 (LIFT). To ensure the effective application of electrosurgery in a clinical environment, it is crucial to minimize heat-induced injury to nearby tissues. In this study, the skin, liver, kidney, and femoral muscle dissected from 9 minipigs were used in tissue thermal spread experiments. Thermal imaging area analysis, maximum temperature, and time to reach basal temperature were evaluated. Thermography results revealed that the surgical temperature was significantly lower in the minimally invasive electrosurgery with AE40-300 (LIPO) and AE20-80 (LIFT) compared to the predicate device. In addition, AE40-300 (LIPO) and AE20-80 (LIFT) created a relatively small thermal injury area and thermal diffusion. Our results indicated that the tested devices named AE40-300 (LIPO) and AE20-80 (LIFT) reduced excessive thermal injury and could be applied to clinical use safely.
