Measurement and simulation of steered acoustic fields generated by a multielement array for therapeutic ultrasound.
Article in JASA express letters, 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
Modelling of fields generated by therapeutic ultrasound arrays can be prone to errors arising from differences from nominal transducer parameters, and variations in relative outputs of array elements when driven under different conditions, especially when simulating steered fields. Here, the effect of element size, element positions, relative source pressure variations, and electrical crosstalk on the accuracy of modelling pressure fields generated by a 555 kHz 32-element ultrasonic array were investigated. For this transducer, errors in pressure amplitude and focal position were respectively reduced from 20% to 4% and 3.3 mm to 1.5 mm using crosstalk prediction, and experimentally determined positions.
