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: Myocardial oxygen metabolism is a key focus of cardiac surgery. It serves as important evidence for surgeons to evaluate surgical quality and surgical plans. However, current clinical methods lack the capability to directly monitor dynamic changes in myocardial metabolism during surgery. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI), a biomedical optical imaging modality, offers real-time assessment of blood oxygen saturation. By visualizing oxygen saturation levels in both blood and muscle tissue, PAI provides a means to infer myocardial metabolic status intraoperatively. Aim: We use PAI to observe the differences between infarcted myocardium and normal cardiac muscle and to explore the feasibility of using PAI to monitor myocardial metabolism levels during cardiac surgery. Approach: Ten rabbits were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The animals in the experimental group underwent thoracotomy followed by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation, whereas those in the control group received thoracotomy only. PAI was performed both at the beginning and before the end of the surgical procedure. The PAI results were compared between the two groups to analyze the relationship between myocardial PAI signal changes and oxygen metabolism levels. Results: Following coronary ligation, the experimental group exhibited significant ST-segment elevation on electrocardiography, whereas no notable changes were observed in controls. PAI demonstrated: baseline myocardial oxygen saturation ( Conclusions: PAI can detect myocardial oxygen saturation in real-time during surgery and determine the occurrence of myocardial ischemia and changes in oxygen metabolism levels based on differences in oxygen saturation.
