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

Differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy is a powerful technique for imaging phase objects in transparent samples but does not work with scattering samples. This Letter, to the best of our knowledge, describes a new technique for obtaining DIC-like phase-gradient images in scattering media based on differential detection of forward-scattered light, using detectors arranged in a ring configuration around the microscope objective pupil or its conjugate pupil plane. This method, called pupil plane differential detection (P2D2) microscopy, does not need polarization optics or a confocal pinhole, yet produces images that are free of speckles and interference noises. We compared the P2D2 imaging technique with reflectance confocal microscopy and demonstrated P2D2 as a simple add-on to conventional laser scanning microscopes.
