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

Viscoelasticity of the soft tissue is an important mechanical factor for disease diagnosis, biomaterials testing and fabrication. Here, we present a real-time and high-resolution viscoelastic response-optical coherence elastography (VisR-OCE) method based on acoustic radiation force (ARF) excitation and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. The relationship between displacements induced by two sequential ARF loading-unloading and the relaxation time constant of the soft tissue-is established for the Kelvin-Voigt material. Through numerical simulation, the optimal experimental parameters are determined, and the influences of material parameters are evaluated. Virtual experimental results show that there is less than 4% fluctuation in the relaxation time constant values obtained when various Young's modulus and Poisson's ratios were given for simulation. The accuracy of the VisR-OCE method was validated by comparing with the tensile test. The relaxation time constant of phantoms measured by VisR-OCE differs from the tensile test result by about 3%. The proposed VisR-OCE method may provide an effective tool for quick and nondestructive viscosity testing of biological tissues.
