Integrated Ultrasound and Photoacoustic-Guided Laser Ablation Theranostic Endoscopic System.
Article in IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Advancements in ablation techniques have paved the way towards the development of safer and more effective clinical procedures for treating various maladies such as atrial fibrillation (AF). AF is characterized by rapid, chaotic atrial activation and is commonly treated using radiofrequency applicators or laser ablation catheters. However, the lack of thermal lesion formation and temperature monitoring capabilities in these devices prevents them from measuring the treatment outcome directly. In addition, poor differentiation between healthy and ablated tissues leads to incomplete ablation, which reduces safety and causes complications in patients. Hence, a novel photoacoustic (PA)-guided laser ablation theranostic device was developed around a traditional phased-array endoscope. The proposed technology provides lesion formation, tissue distinguishing, and temperature monitoring capabilities. Our results have validated the lesion monitoring capability of the proposed technology through PA correlation maps. The tissue distinguishing capability of the theranostic device was verified by the measurable differences in the PA signal between pre-and post-ablated mice myocardial tissue. The increase in the PA signal with temperature variations caused by the ablation laser confirmed the ability of the proposed device to provide temperature feedback.
