Comparison of diffuse correlation spectroscopy, interferometric diffusing wave spectroscopy, and speckle contrast optical spectroscopy for blood flow monitoring.

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
Significance: Noninvasive optical measurements of blood flow have many applications. Measurements have been demonstrated with diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), interferometric diffusing wave spectroscopy (iDWS), and speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS) techniques, but concurrent measurements with all three techniques in the same experiment have not been compared. Aim: We aim to evaluate the comparative strengths and weaknesses of SCOS, iDWS, and DCS methods in controlled experiments. Approach: We performed Results: Conclusions: The experiments demonstrate the equivalency of absolute flow measures from iDWS and DCS and improved precision of pulsatile waveforms from SCOS. These results emphasize the need for rapid development and adoption of iDWS and SCOS.
