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
A calibration phantom made of Derlin requires manual translational and rotational adjustments when calibrating a light-section-based optical surface monitoring system (VOXELAN) with a phantom material that insufficiently reflects the red-slit laser of the system. This study aimed to develop a new calibration phantom using different materials and to propose a procedure that minimizes setup errors. The new phantom, primarily made of PET100, which exhibits good reflectivity without scattering or attenuating the red-slit laser at the phantom surface, was shaped in a manner similar to that of previous designs. The detection accuracy and stability were evaluated using six different regions of interest (ROIs) and compared with previous phantom designs. The coordinate coincidence between the machine and VOXELAN was compared for both phantom designs. The detection accuracy and stability of the new phantom in the reference ROI setting were found to be better than those of previous phantoms. In the lateral, longitudinal, and vertical directions, the coordinate coincidences in translational directions for the previous phantom were obtained at 1.07 ± 0.66, 1.46 ± 0.47, and 0.26 ± 0.83 mm, whereas those for the new phantom were obtained at 0.28 ± 0.21, 0.18 ± 0.30, and - 0.30 ± 0.29 mm, respectively. The rotational errors of the two phantoms were identical. The new phantom exhibited improved detection stability because of its good reflectivity. Additionally, the new placement procedure was linked to the six-degrees-of-freedom couch. A combination of the new phantom and its new placement procedure is suitable for coordinate calibration of VOXELAN.
