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

This work introduces a dual-excitation, multispectral-detection, frequency-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) handheld endoscopy system for comprehensive autofluorescence imaging of the oral mucosa. The excitation wavelengths and spectral detection channels were selected to preferentially image the fluorescence of endogenous fluorophores relevant for oral epithelial cancer detection. The endoscope dimensions and optical specifications enable direct imaging of oral lesions with minimal patient discomfort. Comprehensive imaging experiments using standard fluorophores demonstrate the capabilities of the FLIM endoscope to measure a wide range of fluorescence lifetimes (0.1-12 ns) with high precision (∼100 ps).
