On Combination of Hadamard-Encoded Multipulses and Multiplane Wave Transmission in Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging.
Article in IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging has great potential for use in many new ultrasound clinical applications. We recently proposed a novel CEUS imaging sequence, Hadamard-encoded multipulses (HEM), to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the contrast-to-tissue ratio (CTR) as compared to other classic CEUS methods. HEM increases microbubble responses by using longer coded transmit pulses and the fast polarity change between coded pulses. In this study, we propose to combine the HEM pulse with multiplane wave (MW) imaging technique to further improve CEUS imaging SNR and contrast-to-noise ratio. During MW-HEM transmissions, the microbubbles undergo multiple fast pulse polarity changes, leading to significantly improved microbubble nonlinear responses, and thus further enhanced SNR and CTR as compared to HEM alone or other CEUS sequences. This improvement may facilitate more robust CEUS imaging for deep abdominal organs and the heart.
