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

Significance: There is an unmet need for readily accessible imaging targets to verify whether devices can discriminate lesions from healthy tissue and identify sub-surface vasculature in the small airways. Aim: Our aim is to develop a phantom that mimics human segmental airway adenocarcinoma Approach: We develop phantoms using a mixture of agar, intralipid, and coconut oil cured in a 3D printed mold with embedded tubing to mimic vasculature. The parenchyma optical attenuation coefficient (OAC) is calibrated using optical transmission measurements from an agar and intralipid dilution series. Depth-resolved OAC histogram distributions, analysis of variance, and image quality are used to assess repeatability and biofidelity of these phantoms. Results: Transmission measurements show large increases in OAC when intralipid is cured with agar compared with water-intralipid dilutions. Representative phantom OACs show repeatability within 2.7% and match normal Conclusions: The segmental airway phantoms demonstrate
