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

Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) performed using deep-learning allows high-speed reconstruction of tissue optical properties and could thereby enable image-guided scanning, e.g., to enhance clinical breast imaging. Previously published models are geometry-specific and, therefore, require extensive data generation and training for each use case, restricting the scanning protocol at the point of use. A transformer-based architecture is proposed to overcome these obstacles that encode spatially unstructured DOT measurements, enabling a single trained model to handle arbitrary scanning pathways and measurement density. The model is demonstrated with breast tissue-emulating simulated and phantom data, yielding - for 24 mm-deep absorptions (
