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

The scattering of light by biological tissues significantly impedes fluorescence imaging, affecting key aspects such as image resolution, contrast, depth, and the interpretation of fluorescent measurements. To overcome these challenges, we introduce an approach that combines wavefront shaping with image processing. Wavefront shaping adjusts the phase and amplitude of light waves in real time, counteracting scattering-induced aberrations and enhancing image fidelity. Our method optimizes the collection of signals from multiple fluorescent targets, facilitating their precise localization and tracking. Further augmenting this method, we employ a Bessel-Gauss (BG) beam, renowned for its ability to reconstruct its original structure post-interaction with scattering particles. This attribute enhances imaging depth and contrast. Experimental validations conducted across various scattering media confirm the practical feasibility of our approach. Its compatibility with existing microscopy systems offers great potential to advance biological imaging, biomedical diagnostics, and research, paving the way for widespread adoption in various scientific fields.
