Implantable QR code subcutaneous microchip using photoacoustic and ultrasound microscopy for secure and convenient individual identification and authentication.
Article in Photoacoustics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Individual identification and authentication techniques are merged into many aspects of human life with various applications, including access control, payment or banking transfer, and healthcare. Yet conventional identification and authentication methods such as passwords, biometrics, tokens, and smart cards suffer from inconvenience and/or insecurity. Here, inspired by quick response (QR) code and implantable microdevices, implantable and minimally-invasive QR code subcutaneous microchips (QRC-SMs) are proposed to be an effective approach to carry useful and private information, thus enabling individual identification and authentication. Two types of QRC-SMs, QRC-SMs with "hole" and "flat" elements and QRC-SMs with "titanium-coated" and "non-coated" elements, are designed and fabricated to store personal information. Corresponding ultrasound microscopy and photoacoustic microscopy are used for imaging the QR code pattern underneath skin, and open-source artificial intelligence algorithm is applied for QR code detection and recognition.
