Silicon nanocolumn-based disposable and flexible ultrasound patches.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Traditional wearable ultrasound devices pose challenges concerning the rigidity and environmental impact of lead-based piezoelectric materials. This study proposes a silicon nanocolumn capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (snCMUT) array for real-time wearable ultrasound imaging in disposable patches. Using a lead-free design, snCMUT incorporates silicon nanocolumns to address existing issues and achieves high transmission efficiency (220 kPa/V), flexibility, and low power consumption. The specialized structure of snCMUT enhances displacement efficiency, enabling high-resolution imaging while maintaining a thin, flexible form factor (~900 μm). Phantom imaging demonstrates its superior performance, with high axial and lateral resolutions (0.52 and 0.55 mm) and depth penetration (~70 mm) at low voltage (8.9 V
