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.

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 remote sensing (PARS) microscopy, as an all-optical non-contact imaging modality, has demonstrated considerable potential in biomedical applications. However, current studies on PARS resolution remain limited to experimental characterization, hindering the systematic analysis and optimization of its imaging performance. In this study, we develop an effective point spread function (PSF) model for PARS microscopy, revealing that the system resolution is jointly determined by the PSFs of both the excitation and probe paths. Utilizing a developed multipath confocal PARS (MC-PARS) system, we evaluate the model through numerical simulations and experimental measurements across various excitation-probe wavelength combinations. The results show excellent agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental data. Furthermore, by introducing a confocal configuration into the probe path, we achieve controlled contraction of the effective PSF, resulting in a twofold enhancement in axial resolution of MC-PARS. This work establishes a reliable framework for predicting and optimizing PARS resolution, providing a foundation for surpassing the resolution limit in non-contact photoacoustic imaging through advanced PSF engineering.
