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

backgroundFluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) is an optical imaging technique that reveals biological processes within small animals through non-invasively reconstructing the distributions of fluorescent agents. The primary problem in FMT with non-stationary fluorescent yield is the increase of the unknown parameters to be reconstructed. In this paper, a method is proposed to reconstruct dynamic fluorescent yield.

methodsA shape-based reconstruction method that recovers dynamic fluorescent yield with a level set method is proposed for FMT. To reduce the number of unknown parameters, a level set function is introduced to describe the shape of target and a small number of parameters are used to describe the fluorescent yields at different time points.

resultsResults of simulations and phantom experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can recover well the dynamic fluorescent yields, shapes and locations of the target.

conclusionsThe proposed method can handle the cases with non-stationary fluorescent yields and recover the fluorescent yields at each projection angle.
