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

Fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) is widely used in preclinical oncology research. FMT is the only imaging technique able to provide 3D distribution of fluorescent probes within thick highly scattering media. However, its integration into clinical medicine has been hampered by its low spatial resolution caused by the undetermined and ill-posed nature of its reconstruction algorithm. Another major factor degrading the quality of FMT images is the large backscattered excitation light component leaking through the rejection filters and coinciding with the weak fluorescent signal arising from a low tissue fluorescence concentration. In this paper, we present a new method based on the use of a novel thermo-sensitive fluorescence probe. In fact, the excitation light leakage is accurately estimated from a set of measurements performed at different temperatures and then is corrected for in the tomographic data. The obtained results show a considerable improvement in both spatial resolution and quantitative accuracy of FMT images due to the proper correction of fluorescent signals.
