3D protoacoustic radiography: A proof of principle study.
Article in Applied physics letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We propose protoacoustic radiography (PAR), an imaging modality combining proton excitation and acoustic detection for three-dimensional (3D) imaging from a single proton projection. PAR avoids the effect of multiple Coulomb scattering in imaging by detecting ultrasound. Proton-induced acoustic waves propagate spherically, enabling 3D imaging from a single projection. Additionally, the distinctive feature of proton beams-concentrating energy deposition primarily at the Bragg peak-allows for precise depth-selectivity through proton energy tuning. We performed PAR using clinical proton machines, and our results demonstrate the capability of PAR to reconstruct targets at various depths (between ∼20 and 23 cm) with an axial resolution of 1.3 mm by fully leveraging the Bragg peak and by tuning the kinetic energy of the proton beam. PAR offers opportunities for precise structural determination with protons both in biomedicine and nondestructive testing.
