Phantom-based evaluation of near-infrared intracranial hematoma detector performance.
Article in Journal of biomedical optics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is emerging as a rapid, low-cost approach for point-of-care triage of hematomas resulting from traumatic brain injury. However, there remains a lack of standardized test methods for benchtop performance assessment of these devices and incomplete understanding of relevant light-tissue interactions. We propose a phantom-based test method for systems operating near the 800-nm oxy-/deoxy-hemoglobin isosbestic point and implement it to evaluate a clinical system. Semi-idealized phantom geometries are designed to represent epidural/subdural, subarachnoid, and intracerebral hemorrhages. Measurements of these phantoms are made with a commercial NIRS-based hematoma detector to quantify the effect of hematoma type, depth, and size, as well as measurement repeatability and detector positioning relative to the hematoma. Results indicated high sensitivity to epidural/subdural and subarachnoid hematomas. Intracerebral hematomas are detectable to a maximum depth of ∼2.5 cm, depending on thickness and diameter. The maximum lateral detection area for the single-emitter/single-collector device studied here appears elliptical and decreases strongly with inclusion depth. Overall, this study provides unique insights into hematoma detector function and indicates the utility of modular polymer tissue phantoms in performance tests for emerging NIRS-based cerebral diagnostic technology.
