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

Transmission optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables analysis of biological specimens in vitro through the detection of forward-scattered light. Up to now, transmission OCT has been considered a technique that cannot directly retrieve quantitative phase and is thus a qualitative method. In this paper, we present qtOCT, a novel quantitative transmission optical coherence tomography method. Unlike existing approaches, qtOCT allows for a direct, easy, fast, and rigorous retrieval of 2D integrated phase information from transmission full-field swept-source OCT measurements. Our method is based on coherence gating and allows user-defined temporal measurement range selection, making it potentially suitable for analyzing multiple-scattering samples. In the weak-scattering regime, we demonstrate high consistency between qtOCT and digital holographic microscopy phase images, whereas in the multiple-scattering regime, we show the superiority of qtOCT. This approach enhances transmission OCT capabilities, positioning it as a viable alternative to existing quantitative phase imaging techniques.
