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

This study presents a system-level optimization of spectroscopic photoacoustic (PA) imaging for prostate cancer (PCa) detection in three folds. First, we present a spectral unmixing model to segregate spectral system error (SSE). We constructed two noise models (NMs) for the laser spectrotemporal fluctuation and the ultrasound system noise. We used these NMs in linear spectral unmixing to denoise and to achieve high temporal resolution. Second, we employed a simulation-aided wavelength optimization to select the most effective subset of wavelengths. NMs again were considered so that selected wavelengths were not only robust to the collinearity of optical absorbance, but also to noise. Third, we quantified the effect of frame averaging on improving spectral unmixing accuracy through theoretical analysis and numerical validation. To validate the whole framework, we performed comprehensive studies in simulation and an in vivo experiment which evaluated prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expression in PCa on a mice model. Both simulation analysis and in vivo studies confirmed that the proposed framework significantly enhances image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spectral unmixing accuracy. It enabled more sensitive and faster PCa detection. Moreover, the proposed framework can be generalized to other spectroscopic PA imaging studies for noise reduction, wavelength optimization, and higher temporal resolution.
