Thin Film Analysis by Nanomechanical Infrared Spectroscopy.
Article in ACS omega, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
There is a fundamental need for techniques for thin film characterization. The current options for obtaining infrared (IR) spectra typically suffer from low signal-to-noise-ratios (SNRs) for sample thicknesses confined to a few nanometers. We present nanomechanical infrared spectroscopy (NAM-IR), which enables the measurement of a complete infrared fingerprint of a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) layer as thin as 20 nm with an SNR of 307. Based on the characterization of the given NAM-IR setup, a minimum film thickness of only 160 pm of PVP can be analyzed with an SNR of 2. Compared to a conventional attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) system, NAM-IR yields an SNR that is 43 times larger for a 20 nm-thick PVP layer and requires only a fraction of the acquisition time. These results pave the way for NAM-IR as a highly sensitive, fast, and practical tool for IR analysis of polymer thin films.
