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 (PAI) can evaluate lymphatic vessels with a high resolution (0.2 mm) compared with other methods. LUB0, a new PAI device that is smaller than the PAI-05 used since 2020 (both from Luxonus, Inc.), has been introduced. We aimed to determine the imaging capability of LUB0 by comparing it with that of PAI-05. Two healthy individuals and 4 patients with lymphedema underwent PAI using PAI-05 and LUB0. Each participant was subcutaneously injected with indocyanine green to visualize the lymphatic vessels. PAI was performed after confirming that the lymphatic flow had moved to the central part of the body using a near-infrared camera. Four physicians selected a device with superior image clarity based on a 5-point scale. LUB0 produced sharper images of lymphatic vessels and veins than PAI-05. The physicians scored 3.0 ± 1.2 with PAI-05 and 3.9 ± 0.9 with LUB0 (
