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
backgroundTissue mimicking optical phantoms are commonly used to calibrate or validate the performance of near-infrared spectroscopy or tomography. Human tissue is not only irregular in shape, but also exhibits dynamic behaviour, which can cause changes in optical properties. However, existing phantoms lack complex structures and/or continuously varying optical properties.
aimThe project aimed to design, fabricate and characterise a novel phantom system for testing near-infrared imaging devices. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe designed a dynamic tissue-mimicking phantom platform which features arbitrary internal shapes and variable optical properties. The solid part of phantom was made of silicone material with absorbing and scattering properties similar to the brain. We printed a semi-ellipsoidal sphere (a major axis = 20 mm and a minor axis = the third axis = 12 mm) using a water-soluble material polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The shape was placed at the depth of 5 mm in the silicone bulk. The desired internal hollow structure was formed after curing and submerging the phantom in water. The liquid part contained dyes and Intralipid. The optical properties within the internal shape were adjusted by injecting the liquid solutions of varying dye concentrations with a syringe pump at a constant rate. The phantom was measured by a frequency domain near-infrared spectroscopy (FD NIRS) and imaged by a time domain near-infrared optical tomography (TD NIROT). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: A dynamic phantom system with a complex internal structure and varying optical properties was created. Changes in light intensity were detected by the FD NIRS. The internal structure of this phantom was accurately recovered by NIROT image reconstruction.
conclusionWe successfully developed a novel phantom system with an internal complex shape and continuously adjustable optical properties. This phantom was accurately imaged using NIROT, and the changing light intensity was detected by NIRS. It is a valuable tool for validating optical technologies.
