Polarimetry through a flexible imaging fiber bundle with a pixelated polarizer.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 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
Polarization measurements of tissue in ex vivo and in vivo rigid laparoscopy studies have shown promise for enhancing diagnosis, guiding biopsies, and improving biological contrast compared to conventional imaging. However, a technological gap exists in performing polarization measurements through flexible endoscopes. The depolarization inherent in the coherent fiber bundles commonly used in these endoscopes to relay images from within the body hinders polarization information retrieval. To address this, we propose a simple, compact, and low-cost architecture: a pixelated polarizer placed directly on the tip of the flexible, coherent imaging fiber bundle. We demonstrate this architecture's ability to retrieve the linear polarization properties of a scene.
