Understanding the near-field photoacoustic spatiotemporal profile from nanostructures.
Article in Photoacoustics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Understanding the mechanism of photoacoustic generation at the nanoscale is key to developing more efficient photoacoustic devices and agents. Unlike the far-field photoacoustic effect that has been well employed in imaging, the near-field profile leads to a complex wave-tissue interaction but is understudied. Here we show that the spatiotemporal profile of the near-field photoacoustic waves can be shaped by laser pulses, anisotropy, and the spatial arrangement of nanostructure(s). Using a gold nanorod as an example, we discovered that the near-field photoacoustic amplitude in the short axis is ∼75 % stronger than the long axis, and the anisotropic spatial distribution converges to an isotropic spherical wave at ∼50 nm away from the nanorod's surface. We further extend the model to asymmetric gold nanostructures by arranging isotropic nanoparticles anisotropically with broken symmetry to achieve a precisely controlled near-field photoacoustic "focus" largely within an acoustic wavelength.
