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

A weakly focused laser beam can exert sufficient radiation pressure to manipulate microscopic particles over a large depth range. However, depth-resolved continuous measurement of radiation-pressure force profiles over an extended range about the focal plane has not been demonstrated despite decades of research on optical manipulation. Here, we present a method for continuous measurement of axial radiation-pressure forces from a weakly focused beam on polystyrene micro-beads suspended in viscous fluids over a depth range of 400 μm, based on real-time monitoring of particle dynamics using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Measurements of radiation-pressure forces as a function of beam power, wavelength, bead size, and refractive index are consistent with theoretical trends. However, our continuous measurements also reveal localized depth-dependent features in the radiation-pressure force profiles that deviate from theoretical predictions based on an aberration-free Gaussian beam. The combination of long-range radiation pressure and OCT offers a new mode of quantitative optical manipulation and detection with extended spatial coverage. This may find applications in the characterization of optical tractor beams, or volumetric optical manipulation and interrogation of beads in viscoelastic media.
