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

Medical ultrasound technology provides zero-radiation, non-invasive, high-penetration and high-resolution evaluation of body organs for diagnosing various diseases. However, challenges remain for emerging ultrasonic bioelectronics in terms of novel material exploration, structural flexibility, wearable integration. Here, we present a 64-channel lead-free ultrasound line imaging array transducer developed from biofriendly potassium sodium niobate-based ceramics, which enables wearable multimodal imaging through the incorporation of multilevel material structure engineering and flexible device design. On the materials engineering aspect, the lead-free ceramics exhibits superior piezoelectricity (d
