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 computed tomography (PACT) has become a promising imaging modality from laboratory to clinical research. Of many components of PACT system, the ultrasound (US) array transducer is an essential device to simultaneously receive photoacoustic (PA) signals from several directions in a parallel manner. Many research groups and companies have developed various types of US array transducers while accounting the properties of the PA waves to achieve better image quality, deeper imaging depth, faster imaging speed, and a wider field of view. In this review, we present the implementation and application of the state-of-the-art PACT systems using several types of curved US arrays: arc-shaped, ring-shaped, and hemispherical array transducers. Furthermore, we discuss the current limitations of PACT and also potential future directions for enhancing them.
