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 hologram lenses enable the precise shaping of sound fields using plane wave inputs, with applications in biomedical imaging, targeted therapy, and acoustic manipulation. Recent advances in additive microfabrication technologies have greatly improved the design and fabrication of these lenses supporting materialization of complex phase profiles, miniaturization, and rapid prototyping. This review summarizes key progress in fabrication methods including stereolithography, material jetting, and fused deposition modeling that have expanded the versatility and performance of acoustic hologram lenses. We examine the fabrication techniques, operating frequencies, printing resolutions, and acoustic properties reported in the literature. This review provides an organized overview of the current state of acoustic hologram lens fabrication and highlights critical challenges and future opportunities for advancing research and practical applications.
