Acoustic Attenuation: Multifrequency Measurement and Relationship to CT and MR Imaging.
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 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
Transcranial magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (tcMRgFUS) is gaining significant acceptance as a noninvasive treatment for motion disorders and shows promise for novel applications such as blood-brain barrier opening for tumor treatment. A typical procedure relies on CT-derived acoustic property maps to simulate the transfer of ultrasound through the skull. Accurate estimates of the acoustic attenuation in the skull are essential to accurate simulations, but there is no consensus about how attenuation should be estimated from CT images and there is interest in exploring MR as a predictor of attenuation in the skull. In this study, we measure the acoustic attenuation at 0.5, 1, and 2.25 MHz in 89 samples taken from two ex vivo human skulls. CT scans acquired with a variety of X-ray energies, reconstruction kernels, and reconstruction algorithms, and MR images acquired with ultrashort and zero echo time sequences are used to estimate the average Hounsfield unit value, MR magnitude, and T2
