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

An optical technique based on diffuse reflectance measurement combined with indocyanine green (ICG) bolus tracking is extensively tested as a method for the clinical assessment of brain perfusion at the bedside. We report on multiwavelength time-resolved diffuse reflectance spectroscopy measurements carried out on the head of a healthy adult during the intravenous administration of a bolus of ICG. Intracerebral and extracerebral changes in absorption were estimated from an analysis of changes in statistical moments (total number of photons, mean time of flight and variance) of the distributions of times of flight (DTOF) of photons recorded simultaneously at 16 wavelengths from the range of 650-850 nm using sensitivity factors estimated by diffusion approximation based on a layered model of the studied medium. We validated the proposed method in a series of phantom experiments and in-vivo measurements. The results obtained show that changes in the concentration of the ICG can be assessed as a function of time of the experiment and depth in the tissue. Thus, the separation of changes in ICG concentration appearing in intra- and extracerebral tissues can be estimated from optical data acquired at a single source-detector pair of fibers/fiber bundles positioned on the surface of the head.
