Simplified approach to least-square fitting of fluorescence lifetime ophthalmoscopy (FLIO) data by fixating lifetimes.

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
Fluorescence lifetime imaging ophthalmoscopy (FLIO) is a new imaging modality in ophthalmology. For clinical investigations, the amplitude-weighted mean of two or three lifetime components is usually analyzed. In this study, we investigated the effects of fixation of lifetime components. This resulted in slightly higher fit errors but mean lifetimes were highly correlated to those from fits with variable individual lifetimes. Furthermore, this approach resulted in a similarly good discrimination of diabetic retinopathy patients from controls, a reduction of the computational workload, a de-noising of the mean lifetime images and allows higher local resolution. Thus, fixation of lifetimes in the fit of FLIO data could be superior for clinical routine analysis of FLIO data.
