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

significanceDynamic diffuse fluorescence tomography (DFT) can recover the static distribution of fluorophores and track dynamic temporal events related to physiological and disease progression. Dynamic imaging indocyanine green (ICG) approved by the food and drug administration is still under-exploited because of its characteristics of low quantum yield and relatively rapid tissue metabolism.

aimIn order to acquire the ICG tomographic image sequences for pharmacokinetic analysis, a dynamic DFT system was proposed. APPROACH: A fiber-based dynamic DFT system adopts square-wave modulation lock-in photon-counting scheme and series-parallel measurement mode, which possesses high sensitivity, large dynamic range, high anti-ambient light ability in common knowledge, as well as good cost performance. In order to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed system, the measurement stability and the anti-crosstalk-a crucial factor affecting the system parallelization-were assessed firstly, then a series of static phantoms, dynamic phantoms and in vivo mice experiments were conducted to verify the imaging capability.

resultsThe system has the limited dynamic range of 100 dB, the fluctuation of photon counting within 3%, and channel-to-channel crosstalk ratio better than 1.35. Under the condition of a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio, a complete measurement time for one frame image was 10.08 s. The experimental results of static phantoms with a single target and three targets showed that this system can accurately obtain the positions, sizes, and shapes of the targets and the reconstructed images exhibited a high quantitativeness. Further, the self-designed dynamic phantom experiments demonstrated the capability of the system to capture fast changing fluorescence signals. Finally, the in vivo experiments validated the practical capability of the system to effectively track the ICG metabolism in living mice.

conclusionsThese results demonstrate that our proposed system can be utilized for assessing ICG pharmacokinetics, which may provide a valuable tool for tumor detection, drug assessment, and liver function evaluation.
