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

Electrostatic microactuators with large vertical scanning range (several hundred microns) at high frequency (hundreds to thousands of hertz) and chips sizes compatible with endoscopic microscopy have recently been demonstrated based on parametric resonance. This paper examines the use and modeling of mixed softening/hardening dynamics to help produce large ranges of motion in this class of mirrors. Origin of spring stiffening behavior in actuator design is described, followed by non-dimensional analysis of actuator motion trends. Experimental results are presented for a sample actuator design with up to 480
