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

backgroundFor several years, our research group has been systematically investigating how changes in cerebral hemodynamics as well as systemic physiology can be induced by colored light exposure (CLE). We have observed that these physiological changes can differ between subjects for exactly the same CLE stimulus. In the present case series, we report specific physiological reactivity patterns from four subjects.

methodsA total of 36 subjects participated in the study. These subjects were exposed to blue and red light while performing a 2-back task. For the present analysis, we selected four subjects as representative examples of distinct response patterns. We simultaneously measured changes in cerebral and systemic physiological parameters using the systemic physiology augmented functional near-infrared spectroscopy (SPA-fNIRS) method. The SPA-fNIRS method included oxygenated hemoglobin ([O

resultsWe identified four distinct patterns of physiological responses. Pattern 1: For all parameters except MAP, the subject's response to blue and red light remained consistent. Pattern 2: Similar to the previous case, there was no significant contrast between red and blue with respect to changes in cerebral hemodynamics. Similar patterns were also detected for P

conclusionsIn our analysis of SPA-fNIRS measurements, we identified four subjects with specific physiological reactivity patterns to a combined CLE and cognitive task. Individual physiological reactivity or physiological constitution should be taken into account when analyzing physiological data on CLE to enable a more adequate interpretation of the results.
