A handheld photoacoustic microscopic probe integrating a transparent ultrasound transducer and a fiber scanner.
Article in Nature communications, 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 microscopy (PAM) has been widely used in biomedical studies to provide high-resolution 3D anatomical, functional, and molecular images of living subjects. While handheld PAM systems have been proposed to extend its applicability, it has proved challenging to achieve a compact device that combines fast imaging with high spatial resolution and signal to noise ratio. Here we demonstrate a handheld PAM probe integrating a fiber scanner and high-frequency transparent ultrasound transducer (TUT), called hPAM-TUT. The compact system (measuring 17 mm in diameter, with a 90 mm long rigid body) achieves high lateral and axial resolutions (7 and 47 μm, respectively), has a 2.6 mm diameter field of view, and delivers a single volumetric image in 1.5 s. In living rats, we used hPAM-TUT to visualize various abdominal organs, and in mice we used it to observe epinephrine-induced vascular changes and image the anatomy and functioning of lymphatic vessels after injection of Evans blue dye. Additionally, we successfully delineated murine vascular networks in early metastatic tumors. This handheld PAM probe shows promise for both clinical and research applications in such fields as dermatology, oncology, and intraoperative imaging.
