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

significanceCollagen is a basic component of many tissues such as tendons, muscles, and skin, and its imaging helps diagnose and monitor treatments in a variety of fields, including orthopedics. However, due to the overlapping peaks of the absorption spectrum with water in the short-wave infrared region (SWIR), it is difficult to select an optimal wavelength and obtain the photoacoustic (PA) image for collagen-based tissues. Therefore, an additional approach to selecting the proper wavelength is needed.

aimThe aim of this study is to derive an effective PA absorption spectrum of collagen to select the optimal wavelength for high-sensitive PA imaging (PAI). APPROACH: We measure the absorption spectrum by acquiring the PA signal from various collagen-based samples. To derive an effective PA absorption spectrum in the SWIR band, the following two parameters should be considered: (1) the laser excitation for generating the PA signal and (2) the absorption spectrum for water in the SWIR band. This molecular intrinsic property suggests the optimal wavelength for high-sensitive PAI of collagen-based samples.

resultsPA absorption spectral peaks of collagen were found at wavelengths of 1200, 1550, and 1700 nm. Thereby, the PA signal increased by up to five times compared with the wavelength commonly used in collagen PAI. We applied a pulsed fiber laser with a center wavelength of 1560 nm, and the three-dimensional PA image of a collagen patch was obtained.

conclusionsThe effective PA absorption spectrum contributes to the improvement of the PA image sensitivity by presenting the optimal wavelength of the target samples.
