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

Transient Radar Method (TRM) was recently proposed as a novel contact-free method for the characterization of multilayer dielectric structures including the geometric details. In this paper, we discuss and quantify the intrinsic and systematic errors of TRM. Also, solutions for mitigating these problems are elaborated extensively. The proposed solution for error correction will be applied to quantify experimentally the thickness of several single-layer dielectric structures with thicknesses varying from larger to smaller than the wavelength. We will show how the error correction method allows sub-wavelength thickness measurements around λ / 5 .
