Engineering a better light sheet in an axicon-based system using a flattened Gaussian beam of low order.
Article in Journal of biophotonics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Lasers are fundamental tools in research and development. The shape of an incident laser beam directly affects the results, when it propagates through complex structured meso-aspheric optical elements. In conic-based systems utilizing elements such as axicons, the impact of secondary lobes is mostly overlooked, although the intensity distributions at the central spot and the side-lobes directly affect the beam properties. We investigate the interaction of two axicons (160° and 170°) with incident beams approximated by Gaussian, high-order Flattened-Gaussian, and low-order Flattened-Gaussian functions. We demonstrate that replacing an incident Gaussian beam with a low-order Flattened-Gaussian beam reduces the secondary lobes and significantly improves the uniformity of the intensity profile. We practically applied this effect in engineering a conic-aspheric-based static light-sheet microscope producing markedly improved results.
