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
Catheter-based intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) is a powerful imaging modality for visualization of atherosclerosis with high resolution. Quantitative characterization of various tissue types by attenuation coefficient (AC) extraction has been proven to be a potentially significant application of OCT attenuation imaging. However, existing methods for AC extraction from OCT suffer from the challenge of variability in complex tissue types in IVOCT pullback data such as healthy vessel wall, mixed atherosclerotic plaques, plaques with a single component and stent struts, etc. This challenge leads to the ineffectiveness in the tissue differentiation by AC representation based on single scattering model of OCT signal. In this paper, we propose a novel method based on multiple scattering model for parametric imaging of optical attenuation by AC retrieval from IVOCT images conventionally acquired during cardiac catheterization. The OCT signal characterized by the AC is physically modeled by Monte Carlo simulation. Then, the pixel-wise AC retrieval is achieved by iteratively minimizing an error function regarding the modeled and measured backscattered signal. This method provides a general scheme for AC extraction from IVOCT without the premise of complete attenuation of the incident light through the imaging depths. Results of computer-simulated and clinical images demonstrate that the method can avoid overestimation at the end of the depth profile in comparison with the approaches based on the depth-resolved (DR) model. The energy error depth and structural similarity are improved by about 30% and 10% respectively compared with DR. It provides a useful way to differentiate and characterize arterial tissue types in IVOCT images.
