An Automatic 3-D Ultrasound and Photoacoustic Combined Imaging System for Human Inflammatory Arthritis.
Article in IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 a point-of-care device for rheumatology clinics, we developed an automatic 3-D imaging system combining the emerging photoacoustic (PA) imaging with conventional Doppler ultrasound (US) for detecting human inflammatory arthritis. This system is based on a commercial-grade GE HealthCare (GEHC, Chicago, IL, USA) Vivid E95 US machine and a Universal Robot UR3 robotic arm. This system automatically locates the patient's finger joints from a photograph taken by an overhead camera powered by an automatic hand joint identification method, followed by the robotic arm moving the imaging probe to the targeted joint to scan and obtain 3-D PA and Doppler US images. The GEHC US machine was modified to enable high-speed, high-resolution PA imaging while maintaining the features available on the system. The commercial-grade image quality and the high sensitivity in detecting inflammation in peripheral joints via PA technology hold great potential to significantly benefit clinical care of inflammatory arthritis in a novel way.
