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: The relationship between spatial offset and tissue sensing depth is not well understood in spatial offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS). Detection of the subsurface biochemical composition could improve clinical translation of SORS-based methods, including for lumpectomy margin characterization in breast cancer surgery. Aim: We aimed at developing an experimental method to establish a relationship between spatial offset in SORS and sampling depth. The technique was developed using a custom hyperspectral line-scanning imaging system optimized for Raman spectroscopy detection. Approach: Bilayer phantoms were produced with top and bottom layers made of material with different Raman spectroscopy signatures, i.e., poly(dimethylsiloxane) polymer (PDMS) and Nylon. The top layer of PDMS had different values of absorption and reduced elastic scattering coefficients, as well as a thickness up to Results: A total of 60 optical phantoms with varying optical properties and top layer thicknesses were imaged and processed to estimate sampling depth as a function of spatial offset. The study demonstrated the detectability of the underlying Nylon layer across a PDMS layer up to 3 mm in thickness. Similarly, the detectability of protein-rich tissue was demonstrated across layers of Intralipid up to 3 mm thick and Conclusions: We showed the feasibility of using bilayer solid optical phantoms to create correlation curves between the optimal spatial offset for a desired probed depth given the optical properties of the top layer. The technique could facilitate the clinical translation of SORS measurements for tumor detection and margins assessment.
