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 speckle contrast analysis (DSCA), also called speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS), has emerged as a groundbreaking optical imaging technique for tracking dynamic biological processes, including blood flow and tissue perfusion. Recent advancements in single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) cameras have unlocked exceptional sensitivity, time resolution, and high frame-rate imaging capabilities. Despite this, the application of large-format SPAD arrays in speckle contrast analysis is still relatively uncommon. This study introduces a pioneering use of a large-format SPAD camera for DSCA. By harnessing the camera's high temporal resolution and photon-detection efficiency, we significantly enhance the accuracy and robustness of speckle contrast measurements. Our experimental results demonstrate the system's remarkable ability to capture rapid temporal variations over a broad field of view, enabling detailed spatiotemporal analysis. Through simulations, phantom experiments, and in vivo studies, we validated the proposed approach's potential for cerebral blood flow and functional tissue monitoring. This work highlights the transformative impact of large SPAD cameras on DSCA, setting the stage for breakthroughs in optical imaging.
