2-D Slicewise Waveform Inversion of Sound Speed and Acoustic Attenuation for Ring Array Ultrasound Tomography Based on a Block LU Solver.
Article in IEEE transactions on medical imaging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Ultrasound tomography is an emerging imaging modality that uses the transmission of ultrasound through tissue to reconstruct images of its mechanical properties. Initially, ray-based methods were used to reconstruct these images, but their inability to account for diffraction often resulted in poor resolution. Waveform inversion overcame this limitation, providing high-resolution images of the tissue. Most clinical implementations, often directed at breast cancer imaging, currently rely on a frequency-domain waveform inversion to reduce computation time. For ring arrays, ray tomography was long considered a necessary step prior to waveform inversion in order to avoid cycle skipping. However, in this paper, we demonstrate that frequency-domain waveform inversion can reliably reconstruct high-resolution images of sound speed and attenuation without relying on ray tomography to provide an initial model. We provide a detailed description of our frequency-domain waveform inversion algorithm with open-source code and data that we make publicly available.
