1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Photoacoustic imaging through skull bone causes strong attenuation and distortion of the acoustic wavefront, which diminishes image contrast and resolution. As a result, transcranial photoacoustic measurements in humans have been challenging to demonstrate. In this study, we investigated the acoustic transmission through the human skull to design an ultrasound sensor suitable for transcranial PA imaging and sensing. We measured the frequency dependent losses of human cranial bones
