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

objectiveWe use a resolution matrix-based Bayesian framework to compare inversion methods for tomographic fluorescence lifetime multiplexing in a diffuse medium, such as biological tissue.

methodsWe consider three inversion methods; an asymptotic time domain (ATD) approach, based on a multiexponential analysis of time domain data, a direct time domain (DTD) approach, which is a minimum error solution, and a cross-talk constrained time domain (CCTD) inversion, which is a solution to an optimization problem that minimizes both error and cross-talk. We compare these methods using Monte Carlo simulations and time domain fluorescence measurements with tissue-mimicking phantoms.

resultsThe ATD approach provides high accuracy of relative quantitation and spatial localization of two fluorophores embedded in a 18-mm thick turbid medium, with concentration ratios of up to 1:4.25. DTD leads to significant errors in relative quantitation and localization. CCTD provides improved quantitation accuracy over DTD, and better spatial resolution compared to ATD. We present a rigorous theoretical basis for these results and provide a complete derivation of the CCTD estimator. The Bayesian analysis also leads to a formula for rapid computation of the DTD inverse operator for large-scale tomography measurements.

conclusionThe ATD and CCTD inversion methods provide significant advantages over DTD for accurately estimating multiple overlapping fluorophores. SIGNIFICANCE: Time domain fluorescence tomography, using zero cross-talk estimators, can serve as a powerful tool for quantifying multiple fluorescently labeled biological processes. The Bayesian framework presented here can be applied to general multiparameter inverse problems for the quantitative estimation of multiple overlapping parameters.
