Phantom for standardization in functional near-infrared spectroscopy, part 1: implementation and usage.
Article in Neurophotonics, 2025. 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
Significance: The use of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is expanding, including examples of devices approved for routine clinical use for specific indications. Instrument standardization is a critical element to facilitate clinical adoption. Currently, there is no published description of a phantom that meets the requirements of IEC 80601-2-71, the IEC/ISO standard for fNIRS equipment. Aim: We report an example of the implementation of the fNIRS standard phantom described in IEC 80601-2-71. We further report results from measurement campaigns with this phantom prototype in Japan and Europe. Approach: A phantom prototype was built and circulated among multiple academic and commercial fNIRS groups with diverse instrumentation. The phantom prototype was characterized by wavelength-dependent measurements of its diffuse optical features and utilized in a test for fNIRS signal magnitude as described in IEC 80601-2-71. Results: The optical loss of this phantom prototype as well as its change by varying an internal aperture were found to be Conclusions: The characteristics of the phantom prototype agreed with the specifications in the standard. The phantom prototype proved suitable for the related test in IEC 80601-2-71.
