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

The shape of the tympanic membrane (TM) plays an important role in sound transmission through the ear for hearing. Previously we developed a high-speed holographic system employing a tunable wavelength laser for rapid TM shape measurement. However, the tunable laser illumination was not sufficient to measure the shape of the unpainted TM due to the semi-transparency of the TM and short exposure time of the camera. This paper presents a new multiple angle illumination technique that allows us to use a higher power single wavelength laser to perform shape measurements on the unpainted TM. Accuracy of the new method is demonstrated by a measure of a step gauge provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. We successfully applied the new shape measurement method on a fresh postmortem human TM without any paint.
