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

Measuring oxygen saturation in capillary vessels could provide valuable information on oxygen transport and tissue viability. Most spectroscopic measurement techniques, however, lack the spatial resolution to account for the small vessel dimensions within a scattering tissue and the steep gradients of oxygen saturation levels. Here, we developed a noninvasive technique for image-guided confocal measurement of the optical absorption spectrum from a small region that is comparable in size to the cross section of a single capillary vessel. A wide range of oxygen saturation levels were measured in a single capillary in a human volunteer, with blood deoxygenation rates of 7.1% per hundred microns. The technique could help in studying oxygen exchange dynamics in tissues and could play a key role in future clinical diagnosis and therapeutic applications that require localized functional tissue inspection.
