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

backgroundX-ray micro-tomography (μCT) is a powerful non-destructive 3D imaging method applied in many scientific fields. In combination with propagation-based phase-contrast, the method is suitable for samples with low absorption contrast. Phase contrast tomography has become available in the lab with the ongoing development of micro-focused tube sources, but it requires sensitive and high-resolution X-ray detectors. The development of novel scintillation detectors, particularly for microscopy, requires more flexibility than available in commercial tomography systems.

objectiveWe aim to develop a compact, flexible, and versatile μCT laboratory setup that combines absorption and phase contrast imaging as well as the option to use it for scintillator characterization. Here, we present details on the design and implementation of the setup.

methodsWe used the setup for μCT in absorption and propagation-based phase-contrast mode, as well as to study a perovskite scintillator.

resultsWe show the 2D and 3D performance in absorption and phase contrast mode, as well as how the setup can be used for testing new scintillator materials in a realistic imaging environment. A spatial resolution of around 1.3μm is measured in 2D and 3D.

conclusionsThe setup meets the needs for common absorption μCT applications and offers increased contrast in phase contrast mode. The availability of a versatile laboratory μCT setup allows not only for easy access to tomographic measurements, but also enables a prompt monitoring and feedback beneficial for advances in scintillator fabrication.
