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

Miniaturized ultrasonic transducer arrays with multiple frequencies are key components in endoscopic photoacoustic imaging (PAI) systems to achieve high spatial resolution and large imaging depth for biomedical applications. In this article, we report on the development of ceramic thin-film PZT-based dual- and multi-frequency piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducer (pMUT) arrays and the demonstration of their PAI applications. With chips sized 3.5 mm in length or 10 mm in diameter, square and ring-shaped pMUT arrays incorporating as many as 2520 pMUT elements and multiple frequencies ranging from 1 MHz to 8 MHz were developed for endoscopic PAI applications. Thin ceramic PZT with a thickness of 9 μm was obtained by wafer bonding and chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) techniques and employed as the piezoelectric layer of the pMUT arrays, whose piezoelectric constant
