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

Direct laser writing by two-photon lithography has been enhanced substantially during the past two decades by techniques borrowed from stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy. However, STED-inspired lithography was so far limited to radical polymerizations, mostly to acrylates and methacrylates. Cationic polymers did not derive benefits from this technique. Specifically, epoxide polymerization, which plays a paramount role in semiconductor clean-room technology, has not yet been reported with a second, depleting laser focus in the outer rim of the point spread function. We now found that using a thioxanthone as a sensitizer and sulfonium or iodonium salts as photoinitiators enables at least partial optical on/off switching of two-photon polymerization and, in the case of the sulfonium salt, allows for writing epoxy lines with widths shrunk by approx. two-thirds compared to lines written with two-photon polymerization alone.
