Depth-Sensitive Assessment of Cerebral Blood Flow and Low-Frequency Oscillations After Traumatic Brain Injury in Mice Using Time-Gated Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to long-lasting impairments in cerebral perfusion, making early detection of microvascular changes critical for guiding clinical interventions. In this study, we employed time-gated diffuse correlation spectroscopy (TG-DCS) at 1064 nm to non-invasively quantify depth-resolved cerebral blood flow (CBF) and low-frequency oscillations (LFOs) in a mouse model of closed-head injury. By analyzing early (superficial) and late (deeper) photon arrival times, we identified a significant drop in CBF shortly after injury, with a partial recovery observed at 2 hours post-trauma. Power spectral analysis of the blood flow index revealed significant alterations in LFO bands, particularly in slow-5 (0.01-0.027 Hz) and slow-3 (0.073-0.198 Hz) ranges, with p < 0.05 at both early and late gates. These changes were more pronounced than BFI alterations alone, indicating that LFOs may serve as sensitive biomarkers of neurovascular disruption. Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of TG-DCS for depth-specific monitoring of cerebral hemodynamics and oscillatory dynamics after TBI and suggest its potential utility in translational neurotrauma research.
