Advances and Challenges of Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers in Medical Imaging.
Review in Micromachines, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) have been developed over the past 30 years and achieved practical applications in both medical imaging and industrial non-destructive testing. This article presents the fundamental principles of CMUTs and surveys fabrication technologies, offering a comprehensive review of major advances and challenges in medical ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging applications. The article further reviews and analyzes three primary challenges currently confronting CMUTs in medical imaging applications: lower output acoustic pressure, dielectric charging effects, and the need for high bias voltage. It also presents and discusses a potential combined approach to comprehensively address these challenges, with the aim of enhancing CMUT performance and broadening clinical adoption.
