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

X-ray fluorescence mapping (XRF) is a highly efficient and non-invasive technique for quantifying material composition with micro and nanoscale spatial resolutions. Quantitative XRF analysis, however, confronts challenges from the long-lasting problem called self-absorption. Moreover, correcting two-dimensional XRF mapping datasets is particularly difficult because it is an ill-posed inverse problem. Here we report a semi-empirical method that can effectively correct 2D XRF mapping data. The correction error is generally less than 10% from a comprehensive evaluation of the accuracy in various configurations. The proposed method was applied to quantify the composition distribution around the grain boundaries in an electrochemically corroded stainless steel sample. Highly localized Cr enrichment was found around the crack sites, which was invisible before the absorption correction.
