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

Despite the real-time, nonionizing, and cost-effective nature of ultrasound imaging, there is a dearth of methods to visualize two or more populations of contrast agents simultaneously─a technique known as multiplex imaging. Here, we present a new approach to multiplex ultrasound imaging using perfluorocarbon (PFC) nanodroplets. The nanodroplets, which undergo a liquid-to-gas phase transition in response to an acoustic trigger, act as activatable contrast agents. This work characterized the dynamic responses of two PFC nanodroplets with boiling points of 28 and 56 °C. These characteristic responses were then used to demonstrate that the relative concentrations of the two populations of PFC nanodroplets could be accurately measured in the same imaging volume within an average error of 1.1%. Overall, the findings indicate the potential of this approach for multiplex ultrasound imaging, allowing for the simultaneous visualization of multiple molecular targets simultaneously.
