Highly efficient multicolor multifocus microscopy by optimal design of diffraction binary gratings.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Multifocus microscopy (MFM) allows sensitive and fast three-dimensional imaging. It relies on the efficient design of diffraction phase gratings yielding homogeneous intensities in desired diffraction orders. Such performances are however guaranteed only for a specific wavelength. Here, we discuss a novel approach for designing binary phase gratings with dual color properties and improved diffraction efficiency for MFM. We simulate binary diffraction gratings with tunable phase shifts to explore its best diffraction performances. We report the design and fabrication of a binary array generator of 3 × 3 equal-intensity diffraction orders with 74% efficiency, 95% uniformity and dual color capability. The multicolor properties of this new design are highlighted by two-color MFM imaging. Finally, we discuss the basics of extending this approach to a variety of diffraction pattern designs.
