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

A non-invasive, contactless, inexpensive and easy-to-operate perfusion imaging method using a consumer-grade mobile camera (iPhone 8) developed in our group can visualise blood flow in tissue.

methodsIschemia was induced in one hand using a blood pressure cuff inflated over the systolic blood pressure to stop the blood flow. Using an iPhone, data was collected from 5 subjects, beginning with no occlusion (a baseline), followed by one hand occluded, and then release of the occlusion to restore blood circulation. This protocol was repeated for each hand for a total of 10 videos. The data were analysed to extract the oscillating and quasi-constant components of the photoplethysmogram signal representing blood flow. In addition, we introduced a scoring parameter to reflect perfusion (i.e., perfusion score).

resultsThe proposed perfusion score was used to create a pseudo colour map of perfusion across the protocol, demonstrating the ability to detect ischemia caused by occlusion. The difference in perfusion score was statistically significant between ischemia and baseline/recovery.

conclusionsPilot results on healthy volunteers demonstrate the feasibility of perfusion imaging using a consumer-grade camera. A further developed method can be used to assess the viability of transplanted tissue.
