Ex Vivo Evaluation of a Soft Optical Blood Sensor for Colonoscopy.
Article in Device, 2024. 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
Colonoscopies are vital procedures allowing diagnosis of colorectal cancer and other gastrointestinal diseases. However, excessive forces may be applied to the colon during navigation. This can cause bleeding, especially in patients presenting inflammatory bowel diseases. The endoscopist is often unable to detect bleeding as visualization is limited to the distal tip camera of the endoscope. Thus, there is a need to have bleeding detection capabilities behind the device tip. This work presents a soft optical blood sensor that can be mounted onto a colonoscope. The presence of blood in the sensor's microchannel causes a reduction in optical transmission, and the endoscopist is alerted. We evaluate the sensor safety and performance
