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

Acoustic holography offers the ability to generate designed acoustic fields, enhancing the versatility of acoustic micromanipulation. However, the quality of the generated holograms depends on the nature of the iterative algorithm that is utilized, where the iterative angular spectrum approach (IASA) has been the standard method to date. Here, we introduce a novel approach that categorically improves IASA performance, where we apply the principles of simulated annealing for the generation of high-quality acoustic holograms. We utilize this to realize significant improvements in hologram quality via simulations, fabricated holograms, experimental particle patterning, and high-resolution 2D hydrophone scans. Comparing holograms produced from IASA and/or simulated annealing, we demonstrate that the use of simulated annealing in acoustic holography results in sharper reconstructions and improved hologram outputs across a range of evaluation metrics.
