An Ultrasound-Guided Hemispherical Phased Array for Microbubble-Mediated Ultrasound Therapy.
Article in IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
goalTo develop a low-cost magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-free transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS) system for microbubble-mediated therapy.
methodsA 128-element 11 MHz array for skull localization was integrated within a 256-module multi-frequency (306/612/1224 kHz) dual-mode phased array. The system's transcranial transmit and receive performance was evaluated with ex-vivo human skullcaps using phase aberration corrections calculated from computed tomography (CT)-based simulations via ultrasound-based (USCT) and landmark-based (LMCT) registrations, and a gold-standard fixed source emitter (FSE)-based method.
resultsDisplacement and rotation registration errors of 1.4 ± 0.4 mm and 2.1 ± 0.2
conclusionThis low-cost ultrasound-guided transcranial FUS system affords USCT skull registration with accuracy comparable to LMCT methods. SIGNIFICANCE: Such systems have great potential to advance the adoption of microbubble-mediated FUS brain therapy by improving access to the technology.
