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

Significance: Optoacoustic tomography systems commonly employ bulky and expensive solid-state laser sources readily capable of generating dozens of millijoules of optical energy per pulse. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) may offer a significantly more affordable and compact solution with excellent pulse-to-pulse stability. Yet, the optical design must optimize the energy density delivered to the target, given the relatively low per-pulse energy output of LEDs. Aim: We exploit a full-view LED-based optoacoustic tomography (FLOAT) configuration for Approach: The system features panoramic light illumination delivering 0.48 mJ of total per-pulse energy with an array of 160 LEDs stacked into a cylindrically focused circular ultrasound array transducer. Results: We characterize the imaging performance of the FLOAT system in tissue-mimicking phantoms, subsequently demonstrating its ability for Conclusions: It is anticipated that the compact, low-cost FLOAT imaging system will open up new venues in resource-limited settings for studying large-scale biodynamics such as pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of molecular agents and drugs on a whole-body level.
