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

Significance: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is impacted by signal contamination from superficial hemodynamics. It is important to develop methods that account for such contamination and provide accurate measurements of cerebral hemodynamics. Aim: We aim to investigate whether simulated data with two- or three-layer tissue models are able to reproduce Approach: We performed Monte Carlo simulations to generate DS FD-NIRS data from two- and three-layer media with a range of layer thicknesses and optical properties. We collected Results: We found that the main qualitative features of Conclusions: A three-layer model is a viable improvement over a homogeneous model to analyze DS FD-NIRS data (or any other fNIRS data) to generate more accurate measurements of cerebral hemodynamic changes without a need for large datasets for tomographic reconstructions.
