1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

As a kind of mechanical wave, ultrasound has been widely employed in the biomedical field due to its superiors of deep tissue penetration, non-destructiveness and non-toxicity. In this review, we highlight current progress and prospects in using ultrasound as a powerful tool for disease treatment and medical imaging, including (1) ultrasound as energy input for driving nano/micromotor in drug delivery, this part first introduces the synthesis and motion behavior of nano/micromotors, then reviews the small molecular and macromolecular compounds that the nano/micromotors are delivering; (2) sonosensitive nanomaterials for disease therapy, the sonodynamic, sonopiezoelectric, sonothermal, and sonomechanical therapy will all be covered; (3) ultrasound as a non-invasive technique for nano/micromotor tracking or medical imaging; (4) the sonoporation of nano/microbubble. Future challenges in using ultrasound for disease treatment or medical imaging will also be described in the conclusion part.
