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

Focused ultrasound has attracted great attention in minimally invasive therapeutic and mechanism studies. Frequency below 1 MHz is identified preferable for high-efficiency bio-modulation. However, the poor spatial confinement of several millimeters and large device diameter of ∼25 mm of typical sub-MHz ultrasound technology suffered from the diffraction limit, severely hindering its further applications. To address it, a fiber-based optoacoustic emitter (FOE) is developed, serving as a miniaturized ultrasound point source, with sub-millimeter confinement, composed of an optical diffusion layer and an expansion layer on an optical fiber. By modifying acoustic damping and light absorption performance, controllable frequencies in the range of 0.083 MHz-5.500 MHz are achieved and further induce cell membrane sonoporation with frequency dependent efficiency. By solving the problem of compromise between sub-MHz frequency and sub-millimeter precision via breaking the diffraction limit, the FOE shows a great potential in region-specific drug delivery, gene transfection and neurostimulation.
