Observing temporal variation in hemolysis through photoacoustics with a low cost LASER diode based system.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. 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
Patients under hemolytic condition need continuous monitoring of lysis as depletion of Red Blood Cells (RBC) and the presence of antioxidant free hemoglobin (Hb) in excess amount due to hemolysis lead to severe deterioration of their health. Out of many modalities, Photoacoustics (PA) offers real time information noninvasively from deep lying blood vessels since Hb is the strongest chromophore in mammalian blood and the PA response of blood varies with the amount of Hb present. During hemolysis, total Hb content in blood however remains unchanged, thus, questions the use of PA in hemolysis detection. In this report, a hypothesis that the amplitude of the PA signal would not change with the amount of lysis is framed and tested by applying osmotic shock to the RBCs in hypotonic environment and the PA response is recorded over time using a low cost NIR based PA system. The experimental outcome indicates that PA amplitude falls off as lysis progresses in course of time consequently rejecting the hypothesis. The decaying PA response also carries the signature of RBC swelling during the early phase of lysis. The PA measurement can detect hemolysis as low as 1.7%. These findings further advocate transforming this NIR-PA system into a portable, noninvasive patient care device to monitor hemolysis in-vivo.
