Acoustic Fountains and Atomization at Liquid Surfaces Excited by Diagnostic Ultrasound.
Article in Ultrasound in medicine & biology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Pulmonary capillary hemorrhage (PCH) has been found in mammalian lungs exposed to diagnostic ultrasound (DUS), although the mechanism is poorly understood. This work investigates acoustic atomization and fountains at liquid-air interfaces subjected to DUS, which has been suggested as a possible PCH damage mechanism. Primarily using a SuperSonic Imagine Aixplorer DUS machine (SuperSonic Imagine, Aix-en-Provence, France), blood and water surfaces were excited in vitro by DUS and recorded with a high-speed camera. The surface was driven by B-mode, color Doppler, pulsed Doppler, and shear wave elastography imaging modes with center frequencies from 5.0-7.2 MHz and mechanical indexes (MI) up to 1.7. Fountains and atomization were only observed for SWE, for MI as low as 1.0. A comparison of the SWE waveforms with the surface dynamics suggests that fountains and atomization were driven by push-pulses and depended on pulse duration and intensity. However, we conclude that atomization and fountaining are unlikely primary mechanisms behind all DUS-induced PCH because neither phenomenon occurred for traditional diagnostic imaging modes.
