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
Extraction of spectral information using liquid crystal (LC) retarders has recently become a topic of great interest because of its importance for creating hyper- and multispectral images in a compact and inexpensive way. However, this method of hyperspectral imaging requires thick LC-layer retarders (50 µm-100 µm and above) to obtain spectral modulation signals for reliable signal reconstruction. This makes the device extremely slow in the case of nematic LCs (NLCs), since the response time of NLCs increases proportionally to the square of the LC-layer thickness, which excludes fast dynamic processes monitoring. In this paper, we explore two approaches for solving the speed problem: the first is based on the use of faster nanospiral ferroelectric liquid crystals as an alternative to NLCs, and the second is based on using a passive multiband filter and focuses on multispectral extraction rather than hyperspectral. A detailed comparative study of nematic and ferroelectric devices is presented. The study is carried out using a 9-spectral bands passive spectral filter, covering the visible and near-infrared ranges. We propose the concept of multispectral rather than hyperspectral extraction, where a small number of wavelengths are sufficient for specific applications.
