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

In this paper, we present a comparative study of signal decomposition techniques in multispectral photoacoustic microscopy (MS-PAM) systems that are based on the use of stimulated Raman spectroscopy (SRS). The signal decomposition algorithms leverage the inherent delay between the arrival of two photoacoustic (PA) signals, one from 532 nm and the other from 558 nm. We evaluate four signal decomposition methods: fast Fourier transform (FFT), least squares (LSQ), cross-correlation (XCorr), and a deep learning (DL) approach based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) coupled with an autoencoder architecture. These methods are tested against ground truth PA signals generated separately at 532 and 558 nm wavelengths from the mouse brain. Results show that the FFT method consistently outperforms the others in terms of accuracy, while LSQ, XCorr, and DL's performance exhibits greater variability, especially at longer time delays. Finally, the performance of oxygen saturation estimation is evaluated using the best method (FFT).
