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

Two-photon vision enables near-infrared light perception in humans. We investigate the possibility to utilize this phenomenon as an indicator of the location of the outer segments of photoreceptor cells in the OCT images. Since two-photon vision is independent on OCT imaging, it could provide external to OCT reference relative to which positions of retinal layers visible in OCT imaging could be measured. We show coincidence between OCT imaging of outer retinal layers and two-photon light perception. The experiment utilizes an intrinsic nonlinear process in the retina, two-photon absorption of light by visual photopigments, which triggers perception of near-infrared light. By shifting the focus of the imaging/stimulus beam, we link the peak efficiency of two-photon vision with the visibility of outer segments of photoreceptor cells, which can be seen as in vivo identification of a retinal layer containing visual photopigments in OCT images. Determination of the in-focus retinal layer is achieved by analysis of en face OCT image contrast. We discuss experimental methods and experimental factors that may influence two-photon light perception and the accuracy of the results. The limits of resolution are discussed in analysis of the one-photon and two-photon point spread functions.
