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

We developed a novel miniature micro-lensed fibre probe for Raman spectroscopy. The fibre probe consists of a single negative-curvature fibre (NCF) and a spliced, cleaved, micro-lensed fibre cap. Using a single NCF, we minimized the Raman background generated from the silica and maintained the diameter of the probe at less than 0.5 mm. In addition, the cap provided fibre closure by blocking the sample from entering the hollow parts of the fibre, enabling the use of the probe in in vivo applications. Moreover, the micro-lensed cap offered an improved collection efficiency (1.5-times increase) compared to a cleaved end-cap. The sensing capabilities of the micro-lensed probe were demonstrated by measuring different concentrations of glucose in aqueous solutions.
