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

For high-performance combined photoacoustic (PA) and Ultrasound (US) microscopy, precise coaxial alignment of the US and laser beams is essential. This can be realized using broadband transparent ultrasound transducers (TUTs). However, the current dual-mode imaging systems encounter significant challenges in simultaneous PA and US data acquisition due to sequential transmission of light and ultrasound and mechanical movement of dual-mode probes, leading to longer acquisition times and potential registration inaccuracies. To overcome these limitations, we propose a recently developed high-frequency broadband TUT with an ultrathin (< 10 nm) gold electrode, achieving a center frequency of 65.6 MHz and a -6 dB bandwidth of 71.6 %. The ultrathin gold electrode facilitates laser-induced ultrasound (LUS), enabling simultaneous acquisition of PA and US images. In vivo experiments demonstrate that LUS imaging can effectively replace conventional US imaging, offering highly efficient dual-mode PA/US imaging with minimized registration errors.
