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

An astigmatic optical profilometer with a commercial optical pickup head provides benefits, such as high resolution, compact size, and low cost. To eliminate artifacts caused by complex materials with different reflectances, a z-axis modulation mode is proposed to obtain quantitative surface morphology by measuring S curves on all image pixels. Moreover, the slope of the linear region in the S curve shows a positive relationship with the surface reflectance. However, the slope was calculated using an offline curve fitting method, which did not allow real-time reflectance imaging. Furthermore, quantitative reflectance data were unavailable because of the lack of calibration. In this study, we propose a novel method for real-time reflectance imaging by measuring the amplitude of a focus error signal (FES). The calibration results displayed a linear relationship between the FES amplitude and reflectance. The reflectance image of a grating sample with chrome patterns on a glass substrate demonstrates accurate reflectance measurements with a micrometer spatial resolution.
