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

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a promising imaging technique that can visualize the distribution of chromophores within biological tissue. However, the accuracy of PAT imaging is compromised by light fluence (LF), which hinders the quantification of light absorbers. Currently, model-based iterative methods are used for LF correction, but they require extensive computational resources due to repeated LF estimation based on differential light transport models. To improve LF correction efficiency, we propose to use Fourier neural operator (FNO), a neural network specially designed for estimating partial differential equations, to learn the forward projection of light transport in PAT. Trained using paired finite-element-based LF simulation data, our FNO model replaces the traditional computational heavy LF estimator during iterative correction, such that the correction procedure is considerably accelerated. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves comparable LF correction quality to traditional iterative methods while reducing the correction time by over 30 times.
