1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Raman spectroscopy enables label-free identification of biological tissues, but its clinical application remains limited due to low-throughput measurements. Here, we developed a spatially multiplexed random-access Raman probe that enables simultaneous spectral acquisition from arbitrarily selected locations in vivo. Parallel acquisition of up to 1718 spectra in a single exposure has been enabled by using a custom fiber bundle in combination with a spatial light modulator. In vivo measurement of a peripheral nerve in the abdominal cavity of an anesthetized canine demonstrated the feasibility of the developed system for intraoperative tissue identification within 5 s. We further performed discriminant analysis of multipoint spectra from nerve and non-nerve regions in rats, which achieved 92.5% accuracy and sensitivity for nerve discrimination. The developed system provides a basis for efficient and accurate navigation in surgery.
