Photoacoustic imaging combined with robotics: a review of current works.
Review in Biomedical optics express, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a hybrid imaging modality that combines optical excitation with ultrasound (US) detection to achieve high-resolution, high-contrast imaging of biological tissues. As a non-ionizing and scalable imaging technique, PAI has been widely applied in biomedical research and clinical diagnostics, enabling functional and molecular imaging of a variety of medical conditions. In recent years, the rapid advancement of medical robotics has introduced new possibilities for PAI, particularly in the technologies of automated scanning, teleoperated robotics systems, and microrobots. This review surveys the latest developments at the intersection of PAI and robotics, categorizing them by integration level and application domain, with a primary focus on biomedical and clinical implementations. We conclude with perspectives on how these emerging technologies may drive future innovations in imaging, intervention, and healthcare robotics.
