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

Fluorescence spectroscopy has been explored extensively in biomedicine. To optimize probe geometry used in fluorescence spectroscopy, the Monte Carlo (MC) method is often used to simulate light propagation in tissues. However, the Monte Carlo simulation of fluorescence is often extremely time-consuming, which limits its application in spectral simulations. In this paper, we present a scaling Monte Carlo algorithm for efficient fluorescence simulation with oblique illumination and detection geometries in multi-layered tissue models. Fluorescence simulations are performed on a two-layered skin tissue model using both the traditional MC method and the scaling method. It is demonstrated that the scaling method can achieve a 46-fold improvement in computational time while maintaining a mean absolute percentage error within 3% compared to independent simulations.
