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

A tomographic setup that provides the co-registration of photoacoustic (PA) and ultrasound (US) images is presented. For pulse-echo US-tomography laser-induced broadband plane ultrasonic waves are produced by illuminating an optically absorbing target with a short near-infrared laser pulse. Part of the same pulse is frequency doubled and used for the generation of PA waves within the object of interest. The laser-generated plane waves are scattered at the imaging object and measured with the same interferometric detector that also acquires the photoacoustic signals. After collection and separation of the data image reconstruction is done using back-projection resulting in three-dimensional, co-registered PA and US images. The setup is characterized and the resolution in PA and US mode is estimated to be about 85 µm and 40 µm, respectively. Besides measurements on phantoms the performance is also tested on a biological sample.
