Iterative prototyping based on lessons learned from the falloposcope
Article in Journal of biomedical optics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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: High grade serous ovarian cancer is the most deadly gynecological cancer, and it is now believed that most cases originate in the fallopian tubes (FTs). Early detection of ovarian cancer could double the 5-year survival rate compared with late-stage diagnosis. Autofluorescence imaging can detect serous-origin precancerous and cancerous lesions in Aim: We developed an FT endoscope, the falloposcope, as a method for detecting ovarian cancer with MFI and OCT. The falloposcope clinical prototype was tested in a pilot study with 12 volunteers to date to evaluate the safety and feasibility of FT imaging prior to standard of care salpingectomy in normal-risk volunteers. In this manuscript, we describe the multiple modifications made to the falloposcope to enhance robustness, usability, and image quality based on lessons learned in the clinical setting. Approach: The Results: The falloposcope successfully obtained images Conclusions: The initial clinical prototype falloposcope was able to image the FTs, and iterative prototyping has increased its robustness, functionality, and ease of use for future trials.
