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

Phasor approach to fluorescence lifetime microscopy is used to study development of fibrosis in the unilateral ureteral obstruction model (UUO) of kidney in mice. Traditional phasor analysis has been modified to create a multiparametric analysis scheme that splits the phasor points in four equidistance segments based on the height of peak of the phasor distribution and calculates six parameters including average phasor positions, the shape of each segment, the angle of the distribution and the number of points in each segment. These parameters are used to create a spectrum of twenty four points specific to the phasor distribution of each sample. Comparisons of spectra from diseased and healthy tissues result in quantitative separation and calculation of statistical parameters including AUC values, positive prediction values and sensitivity. This is a new method in the evolving field of analyzing phasor distribution of FLIM data and provides further insights. Additionally, the progression of fibrosis with time is detected using this multiparametric approach to phasor analysis.
