Development of the international standard for functional near-infrared spectroscopy as medical equipment [Invited].
Review in Biomedical optics express, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is widely used in academia and medicine, especially in human brain science. The international standard for the basic safety and essential performance of the fNIRS equipment as a medical device was established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and published as IEC 80601-2-71. In this review, the authors, who are experienced project leaders in developing and revising the fNIRS standard, provide information on the development of the standard, including the process to date and expectations for the research community. The review will guide future experts in fNIRS standard revisions and relevant standard development.
