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

Hyperspectral imaging has a wide range of uses, from medical diagnostics to crop monitoring; however, conventional hyperspectral imaging systems are relatively slow, bulky, and rather costly. In this paper, we present an inexpensive, compact tunable optical filter for hyperspectral applications. The filter is based on a Fabry-Pérot interferometer utilizing hybrid metallic-dielectric mirrors and actuated using a MEMS electrostatic actuator. The optical filter is designed using the transfer matrix method; then, the results were verified by an electromagnetic wave simulator. The actuator is based on a ring-shaped parallel plate capacitor and is designed using COMSOL Multiphysics. An actuation displacement of 170 nm was used, which is the required distance to tune the filter over the whole visible range (400-700 nm). There are two designs proposed for the optical filter: the first was optimized to provide maximum transmission and the other is optimized to have minimum full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) value. The first design has a maximum transmission percentage of 94.45% and a minimum transmission of 86.34%; while the minimum FWHM design had an average FWHM value of 7.267 nm. The results showed improvements over the current commercial filters both in transmission and in bandwidth.
