Elevational Synthetic Aperture Focusing for Rotated Array-Based Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Imaging.
Article in IEEE access : practical innovations, open solutions, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used for real-time, non-ionizing, and cost-effective medical diagnostics. However, using a one-dimensional (1D) transducer often results in limited elevational resolution due to the inherent beam thickness. In this paper, we introduce an elevational Synthetic Aperture Focusing (SAF) algorithm specifically designed for rotational 3D US imaging. Unlike previous methods requiring channel data, our approach operates on in-plane beamformed radio-frequency (RF) data, making it more accessible on many commercial scanners. Through simulations and experiments, we demonstrate significant improvements in elevational resolution (up to 96.4%) and contrast (up to 274.7%). These findings highlight the potential of the proposed algorithm to enhance both research and clinical applications of rotational 3D US imaging.
