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

Photoacoustic excitation of a fluid sphere generates an outgoing ultrasonic wave whose time profile permits determination of the density, sound speed, and diameter of the sphere. Experiments with pulsed laser beams have confirmed the major predictions of existing theory. With regard to acoustic waves generated within spheres, although mathematical expressions for their properties are known, virtually no exploration of the waveforms in theory or experiment has taken place. Here, two cases for photoacoustic excitation of a droplet are discussed: first, absorption of radiation in a region of fluid external to the droplet, and, second, absorption of radiation by the droplet itself. Large amplitude transients, compressions in the former and rarefactions in the latter, are generated as the waves approach the center of the sphere. The high amplitudes of the waves suggest shock wave formation.
