Low-cost fabrication of optical tissue phantoms for use in biomedical imaging.
Article in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
The rapid development of new optical imaging techniques is dependent on the availability of low-cost and easily reproducible standards for technique validation. This work describes a low-cost fabrication process of an agar gel-based phantom that may accurately simulate the optical properties of different human tissues at 532 and 630nm wavelengths. It was designed to match the optical properties of the brain, bladder wall, and lung tissues. These low-cost phantoms use agar powders dissolved in water as the bulk matrix. The latter is loaded with varying amounts of India ink, and aluminium oxide Al
