Acoustic Attenuation and Dispersion in Fatty Tissues and Tissue Phantoms Influencing Ultrasound Biomedical Imaging.
Article in ACS omega, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The development of ultrasonic imaging techniques is optimized using artificial tissue phantoms before the practical applications. However, due to the strong attenuation and dispersion, accumulated fatty tissues can significantly impact the resolution and even feasibility of certain ultrasonic imaging modalities. An appropriate characterization of the acoustic properties on fatty phantoms can help the community to overcome the limitations. Some of the existing methods heavily overestimate attenuation coefficients by including the reflection loss and dispersion effects. Hence, in this study, we use numerical simulation-based comparison between two major attenuation measurement configurations. We further pointed out the pulse dispersion in viscoelastic tissue phantoms by simulations, which barely attracted attention in the existing studies. Using the selected attenuation and dispersion testing methods that were selected from the numerical simulation, we experimentally characterized the acoustic properties of common fatty tissue phantoms and compared the acoustic properties with the natural porcine fatty tissue samples. Furthermore, we selected one of the tissue phantoms to construct ultrasound imaging samples with some biomasses. With the known attenuation and dispersion of the tissue phantom, we showed the clarity enhancement of ultrasound imaging by signal post-processing to weaken the attenuation and dispersion effects.
