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

A new method of generating potentially arbitrary photoacoustic wavefronts with optical holograms is presented. This method uses nanosecond laser pulses at 1064 nm that are split into four time-delayed components by means of a configurable multipass optical delay apparatus, which serves to map the pulses onto phase-delayed regions of a given acoustic wavefront. A single spatial light modulator generates separate holograms for each component, which are imaged onto a photoacoustic transducer comprised of a thermoelastic polymer. As a proof of concept of the broader arbitrary wavefront construction technique, the spatially- and temporally-modulated holograms in this study produce a phased array effect that enables beam steering of the resulting acoustic pulse. For a first experimental demonstration of the method, as verified by simulation, the acoustic beam is steered in four directions by around 5 degrees.
