Iterating the transient light transport matrix for non-line-of-sight imaging.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Time-of-flight non-line-of-sight imaging systems measure transient light transport at a visible relay surface to image hidden objects. Such measurements form a transient light transport matrix (TLTM). Because conventional methods capture only lower-dimensional subsets of this matrix, they are largely limited to reconstructing hidden geometry. Here, we show that a full-dimensional first-order TLTM (TLTM-1), measured between visible relay-surface patches, enables recovery of TLTM-2, the time-resolved light transport between hidden-surface patches. Using a dense laser scan and gated 16 × 16 single-photon avalanche diode array, we sample all dimensions of TLTM-1 on a planar relay wall. We then computationally focus virtual illumination and detection independently within the hidden scene, effectively turning the relay surface into a synthetic time-of-flight camera. Experiments and simulations show that TLTM-2 reveals indirect shadows, interreflections, and volumetric scattering. We further demonstrate direct-indirect transport separation, virtual relighting, and dual photography. These results establish an iterative framework for recovering higher-order transport (TLTM-n).
