Longitudinal volumetric assessment of inflammatory arthritis via photoacoustic imaging and Doppler ultrasound imaging.
Article in Photoacoustics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Aiming at clinical translation, we developed an automatic 3D imaging system combining the emerging photoacoustic imaging with conventional Doppler ultrasound for detecting inflammatory arthritis. This system was built with a GE HealthCare (GEHC) Vivid™ E95 ultrasound system and a Universal Robot UR3 robotic arm. In this work, the performance of this system was examined with a longitudinal study utilizing a clinically relevant adjuvant induced arthritis (AIA) murine model. After adjuvant injection, daily imaging of the rat ankle joints was conducted until joint inflammation was obvious based on visual inspection. Processed imaging results and statistical analyses indicated that both the hyperemia (enhanced blood volume) detected by photoacoustic imaging and the enhanced blood flow detected by Doppler ultrasound reflected the progress of joint inflammation. However, photoacoustic imaging, by leveraging the highly sensitive optical contrast, detected inflammation earlier than Doppler ultrasound, and also showed changes that are more statistically significant. This side-by-side comparison between photoacoustic imaging and Doppler ultrasound using the same commercial grade GEHC ultrasound machine demonstrates the advantage and potential value of the emerging photoacoustic imaging for rheumatology clinical care of arthritis.
