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

Phantoms simulating polarization characteristics of soft tissue play an important role in the development, calibration, and validation of diagnostic polarized imaging devices and of therapeutic strategy, in both laboratory and clinical settings. We propose to fabricate optical phantoms that simulate polarization characteristics of dense fibrous tissues by bonding electrospun polylactic acid (PLA) fibers between polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate with a groove. Increasing the rotational speed of an electrospinning collector helps improve the orientation of the electrospun fibers. The phantoms simulate the polarization characteristics of dense fibrous tissue of collagenous fibroma and healthy skin with high fidelity. Our experiments demonstrate the technical potential of using such phantoms for validation and calibration of polarimetric medical devices.
