Phase-aberration-corrected coherence factor beamforming for photoacoustic computed tomography.
Article in Journal of biomedical optics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Significance: Coherence factor (CF) beamforming can suppress sidelobes in photoacoustic computed tomography, but phase aberration can make genuine absorbers appear incoherent and cause conventional CF to downweight real signals. Aim: We aim to reduce photoacoustic volume tomography phase-aberration-induced loss of true signals in conventional coherence-factor reconstruction and validate the method using phantom and Approach: PAC-CF extends an ellipsoidal two-region time-of-flight correction to the angle-weighted channel contributions used for both coherent backprojection and final conventional energy-ratio CF evaluation. The ROI-optimized effective internal sound speed is selected from multiframe PA receive data by maximizing the mean CF within a fixed region of interest. Results: Simulations showed that conventional CF at the true source dropped to 0.00794 at a Conclusions: By extending two-region time-of-flight correction to the channel contributions evaluated by the final CF weight, PAC-CF reduces the erroneous suppression of true signals caused by propagation-model mismatch and provides a practical PA-only approach for coherence-weighted three-dimensional PACT.
