Image-driven OCT calibration from a single B-scan.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) requires accurate calibration of wavenumber sampling and dispersion compensation to achieve optimal axial resolution. Conventional calibration methods rely on dedicated mirror measurements acquired at multiple optical path differences, requiring dedicated acquisitions, careful alignment, and additional acquisition time. We present a physics-informed optimisation framework that recovers OCT calibration directly from a single routine B-scan. Within the complex leader-follower reconstruction framework, the method jointly estimates wavenumber remapping and dispersion compensation functions by optimising image quality in reconstructed OCT data. Experiments on a swept-source OCT system demonstrate that the recovered calibration functions produce image quality comparable to conventional mirror-based calibration while requiring only a single acquired image and 30-60 seconds of optimisation. Samples containing depth-distributed structure recover calibration functions closely matching the underlying system calibration, whereas structurally limited samples produce image-specific effective calibration within the observed depth range. These results demonstrate the feasibility of rapid software-defined OCT calibration directly from imaging data, reducing dependence on dedicated calibration measurements, and simplifying OCT system operation.
