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

Full field soft X-ray microscopy is becoming a powerful imaging technique to analyze whole cells preserved under cryo conditions. Images obtained in these X-ray microscopes can be combined by tomographic reconstruction to quantitatively estimate the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of absorption coefficients inside the cell. The impulse response of an imaging system is one of the factors that limits the quality of the X-ray microscope reconstructions. The main goal of this work is to experimentally measure the 3D impulse response and to assess the optical resolution and depth of field of the Mistral microscope at ALBA synchrotron (Barcelona, Spain). To this end we measure the microscope apparent transfer function (ATF) and we use it to design a deblurring Wiener filter, obtaining an increase in the image quality when applied to experimental datasets collected at ALBA.
