Endoscopic laser speckle imaging enables real-time prediction of parathyroid function in thyroidectomy.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 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
purposeTo evaluate the clinical utility of endoscopic laser speckle contrast imaging (eLSCI) for intraoperative assessment of parathyroid gland (PTG) perfusion and functional preservation.
methodsFifteen patients undergoing unilateral/bilateral thyroidectomy at The Affiliated Lihuili Hospital of Ningbo University (November 2024 to April 2025) were prospectively enrolled. PTG perfusion was quantified using eLSCI by recording blood flow index (BFI) before and after thyroid resection. Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium levels were measured preoperatively, at 15-min post-resection, and 24-h postoperatively. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the linear association between perfusion and functional parameters, while Spearman's rank correlation test was concurrently performed to verify the robustness.
resultsA significant correlation existed between the BFI change ratio and PTH change ratio at 15-min post-resection (r = 0.672, p = 0.006) and 24-h postoperatively (r = 0.671, p = 0.006). No significant correlation was observed between BFI change ratio and serum calcium change ratio at either timepoint (p > 0.05).
conclusionThe eLSCI system enables real-time quantitative assessment of intraoperative parathyroid perfusion and demonstrates feasibility in predicting postoperative parathyroid function, holding significant potential for clinical application.
