Transfontanelle photoacoustic imaging: ultrasound transducer selection analysis.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Transfontanelle ultrasound imaging (TFUI) is the conventional approach for diagnosing brain injury in neonates. Despite being the first stage imaging modality, TFUI lacks accuracy in determining the injury at an early stage due to degraded sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, a modality like photoacoustic imaging that combines the advantages of both acoustic and optical imaging can overcome the existing TFUI limitations. Even though a variety of transducers have been used in TFUI, it is essential to identify the transducer specification that is optimal for transfontanelle imaging using the photoacoustic technique. In this study, we evaluated the performance of 6 commercially available ultrasound transducer arrays to identify the optimal characteristics for transfontanelle photoacoustic imaging. We focused on commercially available linear and phased array transducer probes with center frequencies ranging from 2.5MHz to 8.5MHz which covers the entire spectrum of the transducer arrays used for brain imaging. The probes were tested on both
