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

Acoustic pressure can be measured with a hydrophone. Hydrophone measurements can underestimate incident acoustic pressure due to spatial averaging effects across the hydrophone sensitive element. The spatial averaging filter for a nonlinear focused beam is a low-pass filter that decreases monotonically from 1 to 0 as frequency increases from 0 to infinity. Experiments were performed to test an analytic model for the spatial averaging filter. Nonlinear pressure tone bursts were generated by three source transducers with driving frequencies ranging from 2.5 to 6 MHz, diameters ranging from 19 to 64 mm, and focal lengths ranging from 38 to 89 mm. The nonlinear pressure fields were measured using four needle hydrophones with nominal geometrical sensitive element diameters of 200, 400, 600, and [Formula: see text]. The average root-mean-square difference between theoretical and experimental spatial averaging filters was 5.8% ± 2.6%.
