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

The position of the source-detector (S-D) relative to an anomaly has an important influence on the detection effect in non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy-based methods. In this study, a single-source multi-detector structure was designed in order to realize the rapid localization of anomalies within tissue. This method uses finite element analysis of the optical density distribution for different horizontal positions, depths and diameters of anomalies. The difference in optical density between the detectors was then calculated. The simulation results show that the horizontal position of the anomaly in the tissue can be quickly located according to the differential optical density difference curves formed by the multiple detectors. The Gaussian fitting feature of these curves shows strong correlation with the horizontal positions, depths and diameters of the anomaly. Through the differential optical density difference curves, rapid localization within the region of interest can be achieved. This method provides an important reference for sources and detectors location for tumor detection, brain function optical imaging and other fields using near infrared spectroscopy, and improves its detection accuracy.
