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

Dynamic optical coherence tomography (DOCT) enhances conventional OCT by providing specific information related to flow dynamics, cell motility, and organelle metabolic activity. These biological phenomena can be detected with varying sensitivity depending on the OCT architecture parameters, including wavelength, numerical aperture, and implementation method (time domain or Fourier domain). Despite its potential, the field lacks standardization as various research groups have independently developed algorithms for specific applications. In this paper, we compare four widely used DOCT algorithms, each employing a distinct analytical approach: power spectral density moment analysis, frequency band visualization, logarithmic intensity variation evaluation, and motility-based analysis. These algorithms were originally optimized for different OCT technologies (full-field OCT, microscopic OCT, swept-source OCT, and spectral domain OCT), which vary in temporal and spatial resolution as well as susceptibility to motion artifacts. To conduct a fair evaluation, we perform comprehensive cross-wise comparisons using datasets acquired from each of these setups. Our findings reveal that each method exhibits unique advantages in specific imaging environments, thereby providing valuable guidance for algorithm selection based on particular application requirements.
