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

In biomedical optics, it is often of interest to statistically model the amplitude of the speckle using some distributional approximations with their parameters acting as biomarkers. In this paper, a paradigm shift is being advocated in which non-parametric approaches are used. Specifically, a range of distances, evaluated in different domains, between an empirical non-parametric distribution of the normalized speckle amplitude sample and the benchmark Rayleigh distribution, is considered. Using OCT images from phantoms, two
