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

Local birefringence imaging provides the most intuitive polarization property of tissue, such as vascular plaque, in catheter-based polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) imaging. We present a Local Birefringence Similar Mueller Matrix Averaging (LMMA) for catheter-based PS-OCT imaging. LMMA combines differential Mueller analysis, matrix decomposition, and noise compensation to address depolarization coupling and noise interference. Monte Carlo simulations show LMMA achieves 4.8% error under high noise and 4.4% under high depolarizationup to 84% improvement over the Stokes vector spectral binning (SSB) method. Polycarbonate imaging experiments yield 1.5% average error, 86% lower than the SSB.
