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

The huge field of optics and photonics research and development is in constant demand of well-trained experts. However, it is challenging to teach efficiently the setup process of complicated optical experiments due to limited hardware availability and eye-safety concerns, in particular, in the case of femtosecond lasers. We have developed an interactive simulation of an ultrafast laser laboratory ("femtoPro") for teaching and training, implementing physical models for the calculation and visualization of Gaussian laser beam propagation, ultrashort optical pulses, their modulation by typical optical elements, and linear as well as nonlinear light-matter interaction. This facilitates the setup and simulated measurement procedure, in virtual reality (VR) and at real-time speeds, of various typical optical arrangements and spectroscopy schemes such as telescopes, interferometers, or pulse characterization. femtoPro can be employed to supplement academic teaching in connection with regular courses in optics or spectroscopy, to train future scientists and engineers in the field of (ultrafast) optics in practical skills, to communicate to other researchers how to set up and align a particular experiment, to "test-build" and simulate new designs of optical setups, to simulate ultrafast spectroscopy data, to offer practical exercises to high-school students, and to reach out to the general public.
