Three-Dimensional Super-Resolution Passive Cavitation Mapping in Laser Lithotripsy.
Article in IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Kidney stone disease is a major public health issue. By breaking stones with repeated laser irradiation, laser lithotripsy (LL) has become the main treatment for kidney stone disease. Laser-induced cavitation is closely associated with stone damage in LL. Monitoring the cavitation activities during LL is thus crucial to optimizing the stone damage and maximizing LL efficiency. In this study, we have developed 3-D super-resolution passive cavitation mapping (3D-SRPCM), in which the cavitation bubble positions can be localized with an accuracy of m, which is 1/10th of the acoustic diffraction limit. Moreover, the 3D-SRPCM reconstruction speed has been improved by 300 times by adopting a GPU-based sparse-matrix beamforming approach. Using 3D-SRPCM, we studied LL-induced cavitation activities on BegoStones, both in free space of water and confined space of a kidney phantom. The dose-dependent analysis provided by 3D-SRPCM revealed that accumulated impact pressure on the stone surface has the highest correlation with the stone damage. By providing high-resolution cavitation mapping during LL treatment, we expect that 3D-SRPCM may become a powerful tool to improve the clinical LL efficiency and patient outcome.
