Soft elastomeric optical fibers for oxygen change measurements of blood and living tissues: a thermoplastic polyurethane assessment.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2025. 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
This paper discusses the design, fabrication, and use of thermoplastic polyurethane optical fibers intended for oxygen saturation measurements. It includes an evaluation of the fiber attenuation and the creation of two probes for the measurement assessment. For comparison, a third probe is made using conventional glass optical fibers. The assessment is conducted in two stages: first, absorption measurements are performed using a mixture of methylene blue and intralipid diluted in deionized water; second, a measurement with human blood is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of such fibers in measuring blood oxygen saturation. Additionally, a comprehensive study of measurement stability is provided.
