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

objectiveBlood circulation is an important indicator of wound healing. In this study, a tissue oxygen saturation detecting (TOSD) system that is based on multispectral imaging (MSI) is proposed to quantify the degree of tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) in cutaneous tissues.

methodsA wound segmentation algorithm is used to segment automatically wound and skin areas, eliminating the need for manual labeling and applying adaptive tissue optics. Animal experiments were conducted on six mice in which they were observed seven times, once every two days. The TOSD system illuminated cutaneous tissues with two wavelengths of light - red ([Formula: see text] nm) and near-infrared ([Formula: see text] nm), and StO2 levels were calculated using images that were captured using a monochrome camera. The wound segmentation algorithm using ResNet34-based U-Net was integrated with computer vision techniques to improve its performance.

resultsAnimal experiments revealed that the wound segmentation algorithm achieved a Dice score of 93.49%. The StO2 levels that were determined using the TOSD system varied significantly among the phases of wound healing. Changes in StO2 levels were detected before laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) detected changes in blood flux. Moreover, statistical features that were extracted from the TOSD system and LSCI were utilized in principal component analysis (PCA) to visualize different wound healing phases. The average silhouette coefficients of the TOSD system with segmentation (ResNet34-based U-Net) and LSCI were 0.2890 and 0.0194, respectively.

conclusionBy detecting the StO2 levels of cutaneous tissues using the TOSD system with segmentation, the phases of wound healing were accurately distinguished. This method can support medical personnel in conducting precise wound assessments. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement-This study supports efforts in monitoring StO2 levels, wound segmentation, and wound healing phase classification to improve the efficiency and accuracy of preclinical research in the field.
