Multispectral optoacoustic tomography might be a helpful tool for noninvasive early diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis.
Article in Photoacoustics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Currently used imaging methods for diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) frequently come along with exposure to radiation and can often only show long-term effects of the disease. The aim of the study was to check the feasibility of a new optoacoustic imaging method to identify PsA. 22 psoriasis patients and 19 healthy volunteers underwent examination using multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT). The presence of arthritis was assessed via quantification of optoacoustic signal intensity of the endogenous chromophores oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin. We conducted high-resolution real-time ultrasound images of the finger joints. The semi quantitative analysis of the optoacoustic signals for both hemoglobin species showed a significant higher blood content and oxygenation in PsA patients compared to healthy controls. Our results indicate that MSOT might allow detection of inflammation in an early stage. If the data is further confirmed, this technique might be a suitable tool to avoid delay of diagnosis of PsA.
