Artifacts in photoacoustic imaging: Origins and mitigations.
Article in Photoacoustics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is rapidly moving from the laboratory to the clinic, increasing the need to understand confounders which might adversely affect patient care. Over the past five years, landmark studies have shown the clinical utility of PAI, leading to regulatory approval of several devices. In this article, we describe the various causes of artifacts in PAI, providing schematic overviews and practical examples, simulated as well as experimental. This work serves two purposes: (1) educating clinical users to identify artifacts, understand their causes, and assess their impact, and (2) providing a reference of the limitations of current systems for those working to improve them. We explain how two aspects of PAI systems lead to artifacts: their inability to measure complete data sets, and embedded assumptions during reconstruction. We describe the physics underlying PAI, and propose a classification of the artifacts. The paper concludes by discussing possible advanced mitigation strategies.
