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

The ability to manipulate acoustic fields in a real-time and high-resolution manner can open up many opportunities for engineering and medical applications. Realising this would demand an acoustic metamaterial that can modulate acoustic waves in a programmable manner. We achieve this goal using a crosslinked semi-crystalline polymer for which any arbitrary modulus pattern can be repeatedly encoded/erased in roughly 13 minutes. Critically and surprisingly, the material allows acoustic wave transmission with low attenuation, despite its multiphase nature. With the modulus pattern and acoustic transparency, reconfigurable phase holograms can be created. Combined with an electrically switchable and compact partitioned piezo-electric transducer, the device allows generating acoustic fields with a high modulation resolution of 10000 pixels/cm
