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

We report a compact and stable broadband light source for 2-µm optical coherence tomography (OCT). The source is seeded by a polarization-maintaining (PM)-based mode-locked thulium-doped fiber oscillator with an intracavity spectral filter that suppresses soliton sidebands and provides a stable seed for subsequent nonlinear conversion. After wavelength shifting in a thulium-doped fiber amplifier and spectral broadening in a 5-m highly nonlinear fiber, a supercontinuum (SC) spectrum with a 295-nm 3-dB bandwidth was obtained in the 2-µm region. A fiber-based time-domain OCT system was employed as a broadband characterization platform, yielding an axial resolution of 6.6 µm and a sensitivity of 99.6 dB. Representative OCT imaging results further confirmed the practical performance of the developed 2-µm system. These results demonstrate a practical route toward stable 2-µm SC generation for OCT imaging in highly scattering media.
