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

The tubular structures and dendritic distributions of blood vessels emit anisotropic photoacoustic (PA) signals with different intensities and frequency components at different angles. Therefore, spectral analysis of PA signals from a single angle cannot accurately determine the physical characteristics of microvessels. This study investigated the feasibility of using the PA power azimuth spectrum (PA-PAS) method to evaluate microvessel structures. We mapped the acoustic power spectrum of the PA signals along the azimuth direction. Based on a frequency-domain analysis of the broadband PA signal, we calculated the spectral parameter power-weighted mean frequency (PWMF). The results demonstrate that the PA signal information of the microvessel is mainly concentrated in the direction of its width. In addition, the PWMF decreases linearly with the microvascular size. The experimental findings exhibit good agreement with the simulation results, thus demonstrating that this approach can effectively differentiate the sizes of microvessels.
