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 method for adjusting the working distance and spot size of a fiber probe while suppressing or enhancing the back-coupling to the lead-in fiber is presented. As the optical fiber probe, a lensed optical fiber (LOF) was made by splicing a short piece of coreless silica fiber (CSF) on a single-mode fiber and forming a lens at the end of the CSF. By controlling the length of the CSF and the radius of lens curvature, the optical properties of the LOF were adjusted. The evolution of the beam in the LOF was analyzed by using the Gaussian ABCD matrix method. To confirm the idea experimentally, 17 LOF samples were fabricated and analyzed theoretically and also experimentally. The results show that it is feasible in designing the LOF to be more suitable for specific or dedicated applications. Applications in physical sensing and biomedical imaging fields are expected.
