The Potential of Photoacoustic Imaging in Detecting and Managing Complex Wounds.
Review in Biomaterials research, 2025. 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
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a promising emerging technology in biomedical imaging, particularly in wound healing. This review summarizes the applications of PAI in the detection and management of complex wounds, emphasizing its advantages in providing high-contrast, high-resolution deep tissue imaging. PAI integrates optical imaging's high contrast with ultrasound's deep penetration, facilitating the monitoring of vital physiological parameters like blood flow, oxygen saturation, and tissue regeneration in wounds. The review details the applications of PAI in monitoring wound pH, nerve repair, drug absorption, burn imaging, and infection-related wound assessment. It also explores the role of novel materials like carbon-based materials, nanorobots, and inorganic nanoparticles in enhancing PAI capabilities. Despite the technical challenges and limitations in clinical applications, PAI holds tremendous potential for wound healing monitoring. The review concludes by addressing the challenges and solutions for PAI, along with future development directions, to facilitate the transition of PAI technologies from experimental stages to clinical application.
