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

Significance: Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) allows label-free, non-invasive investigation of microvascular dynamics deep within tissue, such as cerebral blood flow (CBF). However, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in DCS limits its effective cerebral sensitivity in adults, in which the depth to the brain, through the scalp and skull, is substantially larger than in infants. Aim: Therefore, we aim to increase its SNR and, ultimately, its sensitivity to CBF through new DCS techniques. Approach: We present an Results: The new system can measure pulsatile blood flow in cerebral and muscular tissue, at up to 4 cm SDS, while maintaining a similar measurement noise as compared with a previously published Conclusions: Our results outline successful PDCS measurements with large SPAD arrays to enable detect CBF in human adults. The ongoing development of SPAD camera technology is expected to result in larger and faster detectors in the future. In combination with new data processing techniques, tailored for the sparse signal of binary photon detection events in SPADs, this could lead to even greater SNR increase and ultimately greater depth sensitivity of PDCS.
