Therapeutic potential of low-intensity ultrasound (part 1): thermal and sonomechanical effects.
Review in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
In this first part of the review, we will focus on and discuss various aspects of low-intensity ultrasound (US), with emphasis on mild thermal effects, apoptosis induction, and sonomechanical effects. Mild thermal effects of US have been commonly applied to physical therapy. Though US has clear beneficial effects, the advantage of using US over other heating modalities remains unclear. US has also been used in vivo and clinically in the treatment of wounds and fractures, with promising results. On the biomolecular level, studies have shown that US can induce apoptosis and that certain conditions can provide optimal apoptosis induction. As to potential therapeutic applications, in addition to the thermal and other physical effects, apoptosis induction by US may offer direct and rapid treatment of tumors or cancer tissues. Technological advances and rapidly accelerating research in this field are providing an ever-increasing array of therapeutic options for lowintensity US.
