Full three-dimensional segmentation and quantification of tumor vessels for photoacoustic images.
Article in Photoacoustics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Quantitative analysis of tumor vessels is of great significance for tumor staging and diagnosis. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has been proven to be an effective way to visualize comprehensive tumor vascular networks in three-dimensional (3D) volume, while previous studies only quantified the vessels projected in one plane. In this study, tumor vessels were segmented and quantified in a full 3D framework. It had been verified in the phantom experiments that the 3D quantification results have better accuracy than 2D. Furthermore, in vivo vessel images were quantified by 2D and 3D quantification methods respectively. And the difference between these two results is significant. In this study, complete vessel segmentation and quantification method within a 3D framework was implemented, which showed obvious advantage in the analysis accuracy of 3D photoacoustic images, and potentially improve tumor study and diagnosis.
