Measurement of absorption and reduced scattering coefficients in Asian human epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous fat tissues in the 400- to 1100-nm wavelength range for optical penetration depth and energy deposition analysis.
Article in Journal of biomedical optics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 46 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
significanceIn laser therapy and diagnosis of skin diseases, the irradiated light distribution, which is determined by the absorption coefficient μa and reduced scattering coefficient μs' of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous fat, affects the treatment outcome and diagnosis accuracy. Although values for μa and μs' have been reported, detailed analysis for Asian skin tissues is still lacking.
aimWe present μa and μs' measurements of Asian skin tissues in the 400- to 1100-nm wavelength range for evaluating optical penetration depth and energy deposition. APPROACH: The measurements with Asian human skin samples are performed employing a double integrating sphere spectrometric system and an inverse Monte Carlo technique. Using the measured parameters, the optical penetration depth and energy deposition are quantitatively analyzed.
resultsThe μa of the epidermis layer varies among different ethnic groups, while the μa of the other layers and the μs' of all of the layers exhibit almost no differences. The analysis reveals that the optical penetration depth and the energy deposition affect the photodynamic therapy treatment depth and the heat production in skin tissue, respectively.
conclusionsThe experimentally measured values of μa and μs' for Asian skin tissues are presented, and the light behavior in Asian skin tissues is analyzed using a layered tissue model.
