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

This short review discusses the recent developments in low-cost, high-resolution optoacoustic microscopy systems, integrating laser diodes for signal excitation, which are 20-40 times cheaper than the typically employed Q-switched nanosecond laser sources. The development of laser diode-based microscopes can substantially improve not only cost efficiency, but also multispectral capabilities, robustness, portability and overall imaging performance of the optoacoustic technique. To this end, we demonstrate relevant implementations in both time and frequency domain, highlighting their representative applications in biomedical research such as microvasculature imaging, oxygen saturation assessments, hybrid and multiview microscopy of model organisms and tissues and Doppler flow speed measurements. Finally, we analyse the benefits and limitations of each approach, identifying the respective application contexts where they achieve optimum performance.
