Preliminary experience with diffuse correlation spectroscopy in acute ischemic stroke neurointerventional procedures.
Article in Journal of neurointerventional surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundDiffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is a non-invasive optical technique that enables continuous blood flow measurements in various organs, including the brain. DCS quantitatively measures blood flow from temporal fluctuations in the intensity of diffusely reflected light caused by the dynamic scattering of light from moving red blood cells within the tissue.
methodsWe performed bilateral cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurements using a custom DCS device in patients undergoing neuroendovascular interventions for acute ischemic stroke. Experimental, clinical, and imaging data were collected in a prospective manner.
resultsThe device was successfully applied in nine subjects. There were no safety concerns or interference with the standard angiography suite or intensive care unit workflow. Six cases were selected for final analysis and interpretation. DCS measurements with photon count rates greater than 30 KHz had sufficient signal-to-noise to resolve blood flow pulsatility. We found an association between angiographic changes in cerebral reperfusion (partial or complete reperfusion established in stroke thrombectomy cases; temporary flow arrest during carotid artery stenting) and those observed intraprocedurally with CBF measurements via DCS. Limitations of the current technology included sensitivity to the interrogated tissue volume under the probe and the effect of local changes in tissue optical properties on the accuracy of CBF estimates.
conclusionOur initial experience with DCS in neurointerventional procedures showed the feasibility of this non-invasive approach in providing continuous measurement of regional CBF brain tissue properties.
