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: Division-of-focal-plane Stokes polarimetry is emerging as a powerful tool for the microstructural characterization of soft tissues. How individual extracellular matrix (ECM) properties influence polarimetric signals in reflectance or transmission modes of quantitative polarized light imaging (QPLI) is not well understood. Aim: We aimed to investigate how ECM properties affect outcomes obtained from division-of-focal-plane polarimetric imaging in reflectance or transmission modes. Approach: Tunable collagen gel phantoms were used to modulate ECM properties of anisotropy, collagen density, crosslinking, and absorber density; the effects of degree of linear polarization (DoLP) and angle of polarization (AoP) on polarimetry outcomes were assessed. A model biological tissue (i.e., bovine tendon) was similarly imaged and evaluated using both reflectance and transmission modes. Results: Reflectance QPLI resulted in decreased DoLP compared with transmission mode. A 90 deg shift in AoP was observed between modes but yielded similar spatial patterns. Collagen density had the largest effect on outcomes besides anisotropy in both imaging modes. Conclusions: Both imaging modes were sufficiently sensitive to detect structural anisotropy differences in gels of varying fiber alignment. Conclusions drawn from phantom experiments should carry over when interpreting data from more complex tissues and can help provide context for interpretation of other Stokes polarimetry data.
