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

We propose a method for differentiating classes of light scatterers based upon their temporal and polarization properties computed from time series of polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) images. The amplitude (motility) and time scale (autocorrelation decay time) of the speckle fluctuations are combined with the cross-polarization pixel-wise to render Motility-, autocorrelation-, and polarization-sensitive (MAPS) OCT contrast images. This combination of metrics provides high specificity for discriminating diffusive gold nanorods and mammary epithelial cell spheroids within 3D tissue culture, based on their unique MAPS signature. This has implications toward highly specific contrast in molecular (nanoparticle-based) and functional (cellular activity) imaging using standard PS-OCT hardware.
