Cylindrical lens configuration for optimizing light delivery in a curvilinear endocavity photoacoustic imaging system.
Article in Optics letters, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Curvilinear endocavity ultrasound images capture a wide field of view with a miniature probe. In adapting photoacoustic imaging (PAI) to work with such ultrasound systems, light delivery is challenged by the trade-off between image quality and laser safety concerns. Here, we present two novel, to the best of our knowledge, designs based on cylindrical lenses that are optimized for transvaginal PAI B-scan imaging. Our simulation and experimental results demonstrate that, compared to conventional light delivery methods for PAI imaging, the proposed designs are safer for higher pulse energies and provide deeper imaging and a wider lateral field of view. The proposed designs could also improve the performance of endoscopic co-registered ultrasound/photoacoustic imaging in other clinical applications.
