Optical coherence tomography for the detection of electrothermal ureteral injury in an
Article in Biophotonics discovery, 2024. 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
Significance: The current technology has limited ability to detect lateral thermal spread of injury caused by electrosurgical devices during gynecologic procedures. Aim: We aim to assess the feasibility of endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) to detect electrothermal ureteral damage. Approach: Electrothermal energy was externally applied to nine explanted porcine ureters. Three segments of each ureter were treated for 5 s at low (16 W), medium (26 W), and high (36 W) powers ( Results: Transmural electrothermal injury was identified on OCT images for all but one histology-confirmed lesion ( Conclusions: Endoscopic OCT could fulfill the unmet clinical need for the timely detection of electrothermal ureteral injury.
