Thermally actuated tapping mode atomic force microscopy with polymer microcantilevers.
Article in The Review of scientific instruments, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This paper demonstrates a thermally actuated tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a polymer cantilever. The cantilever (350x250x3 microm(3)) is made from polyimide and includes an embedded resistive heater for thermal actuation. The oscillation of the cantilever is due to the stress gradient caused by alternating heating and cooling from the periodic ac excitation of the heater. The tip oscillation amplitude is 5-10 nm in air. The oscillation occurs at 2omega and is a linear function of the applied voltage. The maximum oscillation amplitude is seen at 0.8 Hz with a 3dB frequency of 26 Hz. The damping of the oscillation due to tip-sample interaction is used to image the sample without any optomechanical feedback. Scans with a 200 nm tall grating indicate a resolution comparable to deflection signal from the AFM in contact mode.
