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

We demonstrate a MEMS beam scanner capable of biaxial scanning with simultaneous focus control, for integration into a handheld confocal microscope for skin imaging. The device is based on a dual axis gimbal structure with an integrated largestroke deformable mirror. SU-8 polymer is used to construct both the deformable membrane as well as the torsional hinges for biaxial scanning. The 4 mm diameter mirror can perform raster pattern scanning with a range of +/- 1.5 degrees and Lissajous scanning with a range of +/- 3 degrees (mechanical scan angle), and has a maximum deflection of 9 um for focus control. The design, fabrication and characterization of the opto-mechanical performance of the MEMS device are presented in this paper.
