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

Significance: Passive quadrature demultiplexing allows full-range optical coherence tomography (FR-OCT). However, imperfections in the wavelength- and frequency-response of the demodulation circuits can cause residual mirror artifacts, which hinder high-quality imaging on both sides of zero delay. Aim: We aim at achieving high mirror artifact extinction by calibrated postprocessing of the FR-OCT signal. Approach: We propose a mathematical framework for the origin of the residual mirror peaks as well as a protocol allowing the precise measurement and correction of the associated errors directly from mirror measurements. Results: We demonstrate high extinction of the mirror artifact over the entire imaging range, as well as an assessment of the method's robustness to time and experimental conditions. We also provide a detailed description of the practical implementation of the method to ensure optimal reproducibility. Conclusion: The proposed method is simple to implement and produces high mirror artifact extinction. This may encourage the adoption of FR-OCT in clinical and industrial systems or loosen the performance requirements on the optical demodulation circuit, as the imperfections can be handled in postprocessing.
