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

Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) has become a premier microscopy tool that can provide the anatomical, functional, and molecular information of animals and humans in vivo. However, conventional PAM systems suffer from limited temporal and/or spatial resolution. Here, we present a fast PAM system and an agent-free localization method based on a stable and commercial galvanometer scanner with a custom-made scanning mirror (L-PAM-GS). This novel hardware implementation enhances the temporal resolution significantly while maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). These improvements allow us to photoacoustically and noninvasively observe the microvasculatures of small animals and humans in vivo. Furthermore, the functional hemodynamics, namely, the blood flow rate in the microvasculature, is successfully monitored and quantified in vivo. More importantly, thanks to the high SNR and fast B-mode rate (500 Hz), by localizing photoacoustic signals from captured red blood cells without any contrast agent, unresolved microvessels are clearly distinguished, and the spatial resolution is improved by a factor of 2.5 in vivo. L-PAM-GS has great potential in various fields, such as neurology, oncology, and pathology.
