Developing an Interface and Investigating Optimal Parameters for Real-Time Intracardiac Subharmonic-Aided Pressure Estimation.
Article in IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Thisstudy focuses on evaluating the real-time functionality of a customized interface and investigating the optimal parameters for intracardiac subharmonic-aided pressure estimation (SHAPE) utilizing Definity (Lantheus Medical Imaging Inc., North Billerica, MA, USA) and Sonazoid (GE Healthcare, Oslo, Norway) microbubbles. Pressure measurements within the chambers of the heart yield critical information for managing cardiovascular diseases. An alternative to current, invasive, clinical cardiac catheterization procedures is utilizing ultrasound contrast agents and SHAPE to noninvasively estimate intracardiac pressures. Therefore, this work developed a customized interface (on a SonixTablet, BK Ultrasound, Peabody, MA, USA) for real-time intracardiac SHAPE. In vitro, a Doppler flow phantom was utilized to mimic the dynamic pressure changes within the heart. Definity (15.0- [Formula: see text] microspheres corresponding to 0.1-0.15 mL) and Sonazoid (GE Healthcare; 0.4- [Formula: see text] microspheres corresponding to 0.05-0.15 mL) microbubbles were used. Data were acquired for varying transmit frequencies (2.5-4.0 MHz), and pulse shaping options (square wave and chirp down) to determine optimal transmit parameters. Simultaneously obtained radio frequency data and ambient pressure data were compared. For Definity, the chirp down pulse at 3.0 MHz yielded the highest correlation ( r = - 0.77 ± 0.2 ) between SHAPE and pressure catheter data. For Sonazoid, the square wave pulse at 2.5 MHz yielded the highest correlation ( r = - 0.72 ± 0.2 ). In conclusion, the real-time functionality of the customized interface has been verified, and the optimal parameters for utilizing Definity and Sonazoid for intracardiac SHAPE have been determined.
