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

The increasing experimental use of total internal reflection/fluorescence photobleaching recovery has motivated a theoretical study of the spatial intensity profiles generated by two interfering evanescent waves. The interference patterns generated by evanescent waves differ considerably from those generated by plane waves in a homogenous medium because evanescent waves are not transverse and because the evanescent propagation number depends on the incidence angle of the totally internally reflected light. The periodicity and contrast of the evanescent interference patterns under various conditions are calculated; these parameters depend on the intensities, polarizations, and incidence angles of the two incident beams, as well as the refractive indices of the two media that form the planar interface where total internal reflection occurs. The derived intensity profiles are used to develop expressions for the shapes of fluorescence photobleaching recovery curves when evanescent interference patterns are used for fluorescence excitation and bleaching. The calculations also suggest that colliding beam experiments may confirm theoretically predicted evanescent field polarizations.
