Acoustic Velocity Measurement for Enhancing Laser UltraSound Imaging Based on Time Domain Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A method to enhance laser ultrasound (LUS) image reconstruction with the time-domain synthetic aperture focusing technique (T-SAFT) is presented, in which the acoustic velocity is extracted in situ with curve fitting. The operational principle is provided with the help of a numerical simulation, and the confirmation is provided experimentally. In these experiments, an all-optic LUS system was developed by using lasers for both excitation and detection of ultrasound. The acoustic velocity of a specimen was extracted in situ by fitting a hyperbolic curve to its B-scan image. The needle-like objects embedded within a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) block and a chicken breast have been successfully reconstructed using the extracted in situ acoustic velocity. Experimental results suggest that knowing the acoustic velocity in the T-SAFT process is important not only in finding the depth location of the target object but also for producing a high resolution image. This study is expected to pave the wave to the development and usage of all-optic LUS for bio-medical imaging.
