Synthetic Bessel light needle for extended depth-of-field microscopy.
Article in Applied physics letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
An ultra-long light needle is highly desired in optical microscopy for its ability to improve the lateral resolution over a large depth of field (DOF). However, its use in image acquisition usually relies on mechanical raster scanning, which compromises between imaging speed and stability and thereby restricts imaging performance. Here, we propose a synthetic Bessel light needle (SBLN) that can be generated and scanned digitally by complex field modulation using a digital micromirror device. In particular, the SBLN achieves a 45-fold improvement in DOF over its counterpart Gaussian focus. Further, we apply the SBLN to perform motionless two-dimensional and three-dimensional microscopic imaging, achieving both improved resolution and extended DOF. Our work is expected to open up opportunities for potential biomedical applications.
