Prototype endoscopic photoacoustic-ultrasound balloon catheter for characterizing intestinal obstruction.
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 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
In our previous studies, we have demonstrated the feasibility of characterizing intestinal inflammation and fibrosis using endoscopic photoacoustic imaging. Purposed at te clinical translation of the imaging technology, we developed a photoacoustic/ultrasound imaging probe by integrating a miniaturized ultrasound array and an angle-tipped optical fiber in a hydrostatic balloon catheter. When collapsed, the catheter probe may potentially be compatible with a clinical ileo-colonoscope. In addition, the flexible surface of the hydrostatic balloon allows for acoustic coupling at the uneven surfaces of the gas-filled intestine. Tissue phantom studies show that the catheter probe possesses an imaging penetration of at least 12 mm. Experiments with a rabbit model
