Monte Carlo simulation platform for laser Doppler flowmetry.

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: Monte Carlo simulation of light propagation in turbid media is important in biomedical optics. Most existing platforms simulate light-tissue interactions in backscattering and planar geometries and are voxel-based, which limits their ability to model curved boundaries accurately. Few platforms incorporate Doppler shifts from flowing media, and they allow limited customization of flow profiles and scattering properties. Although laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is common in backscattering-based tissue measurements or low-scattering through-transmission setups, the intermediate case of through-transmission measurements in more scattering samples is underexplored. This case is relevant for applications such as flow quantification in lab-on-a-chip systems and inline flow sensors for biological fluids. Aim: To study flow in highly scattering samples (1 to Approach: MC-Doppler uses unit vectors and ray tracing to model light propagation, with fully customizable scattering phase functions and flow fields. It was tested with various suspensions of differently sized polystyrene beads, at flow rates ranging from 0 to Results: Simulated and measured Doppler power spectra matched well for scattering coefficients up to Conclusions: MC-Doppler accurately simulates light propagation for through-transmission laser Doppler up to moderate scattering coefficients.
