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 smoothness and angle quality of a surface mesh are two important indicators of the "goodness" of the mesh for downstream applications such as visualization and numerical simulation. We present in this paper a novel surface mesh processing method not only to reduce mesh noise but to improve angle quality as well. Our approach is based on the local surface fitting around each vertex using the least square minimization technique. The new position of the vertex is obtained by finding the maximum inscribed circle (MIC) of the surrounding polygon and projecting the circle's center onto the analytically fitted surface. The procedure above repeats until the maximal vertex displacement is less than a pre-defined threshold. The mesh smoothness is improved by a combined idea of surface fitting and projection, while the angle quality is achieved by utilizing the MIC-based projection scheme. Results on a variety of geometric mesh models have demonstrated the effectiveness of our method.
