Comparison of contrast-to-noise ratios of different detection methods in ultrasound optical tomography.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07754500 (Measurement and Imaging Capability of a Novel Medical Imaging Method, Ultrasound Optical Tomography, Based on Ultrasound and Laser Light in Human Tissue), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Ultrasound optical tomography (UOT) is a hybrid imaging modality based on interaction between ultrasound and light, with a potential to extend optical imaging capabilities in biological tissues to depths of several centimeters. Several methods have been developed to detect the UOT signal. To better understand their potential for deep tissue imaging, we present a theoretical contrast-to-noise comparison between the spectral hole burning, single-shot off-axis holography, speckle contrast, and photorefractive detection methods for UOT. Our results indicate that spectral hole burning filters have the potential to reach the largest imaging depths. We find that digital off-axis holography and photorefractive detection can have good contrast-to-noise ratio at significant depths. The speckle contrast method has a smaller penetration depth comparatively.
