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

Detection of re-epithelialization in wound healing is important, but challenging. Hyperspectral imaging can be used for non-destructive characterization, but efficient techniques are needed to extract and interpret the information. An inverse photon transport model suitable for characterization of re-epithelialization is validated and explored in this study. It exploits scale-invariance to enable fitting of the epidermal skin layer only. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the fitted layer transmittance and reflectance spectra are unique, and that there exists an infinite number of coupled parameter solutions. The method is used to explain the optical behavior of and detect re-epithelialization in an in vitro wound model.
