Review of shortwave infrared imaging and spectroscopy in tissue [Invited].
Review in Biomedical optics express, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
The shortwave infrared (SWIR) wavelength band (1,000-2,000 nm) has recently garnered increased interest due to its beneficial attributes for tissue imaging and spectroscopy. Lower scattering, increased sensitivity to endogenous water and lipid content, and the reduced influence of melanin offer new measurement opportunities and application areas. SWIR sensor technology is advancing at a rapid pace, fueling growth in academic and commercial instrument development. Here, we review recent progress in SWIR tissue imaging and spectroscopy, provide resources on tissue optical properties at SWIR wavelengths, and offer guidance on the utilization of models, methods, and instruments for SWIR measurements in tissue. One key finding is that while some efforts have exploited the lower scattering in the SWIR to achieve deep tissue imaging, this advantage is highly dependent on the specific choice of wavelength and the measurement geometry. Photon attenuation limits these advantages at wavelengths where water absorption is strong, especially in the context of higher-noise SWIR detectors. However, a growing number of clinical applications are emerging, especially those requiring
