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

The polarization properties of a sample can be characterized using a Jones matrix. To measure the Jones matrix without assumptions of the sample, two different incident states of polarization are usually used. This requirement often causes certain drawbacks in polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT), e.g., a decrease in the effective A-scan rate or axial depth range, if a multiplexing scheme is used. Because both the A-scan rate and axial depth range are important for clinical applications, including the imaging of an anterior eye segment, a new PS-OCT method that does not have these drawbacks is desired. Here, we present a parallel-detection approach that maintains the same A-scan rate and axial measurement range as conventional OCT. The interferometer consists of fiber-optic components, most of which are polarization-maintaining components with fast-axis blocking free from polarization management. When a parallel detection is implemented using swept-source OCT (SS-OCT), synchronization between the A-scans and synchronization between the detection channels have critical effects on the Jones-matrix measurement. Because it is difficult to achieve perfect synchronization using only hardware, we developed a solution using a numerical correction with signals from a static mirror. Using the developed system, we demonstrate the imaging of an anterior eye segment from the cornea to the back surface of the crystalline lens.
