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: Modern optical volumetric imaging modalities, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), provide enormous information about the structure, function, and physiology of living tissue. Although optical imaging achieves lateral resolution on the order of the wavelength of light used, and OCT achieves axial resolution on a similar micron scale, tissue optical properties, particularly high scattering and absorption, limit light penetration to only a few millimeters. In addition, Aim: We aim to improve Approach: We designed a nerve holder with embedded mirror prisms for peripheral nerve volumetric imaging as well as a specific beam steering strategy to acquire prism and direct view volumes in one session with minimal motion artifacts. Results: The axially imaged volumes from mirror prisms increased the OCT signal intensity by Conclusions: We demonstrated improved OCT imaging during neurosurgery in small and large animals by combining the use of a prism nerve holder with a specifically designed beam scanning protocol. Our strategy can be applied to existing OCT imaging systems with minimal hardware modification, increasing the nerve tissue volume visualized. Enhanced imaging depth techniques may lead to a greater adoption of structural and functional optical biomarkers in preclinical and clinical medicine.
