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 achievable resolution of a conventional imaging system is inevitably limited due to diffraction. Dealing with precise imaging in scattering media, such as in the case of biomedical imaging, is even more difficult owing to the weak signal-to-noise ratios. Recent developments in non-diffractive beams such as Bessel beams, Airy beams, vortex beams, and Mathieu beams have paved the way to tackle some of these challenges. This review specifically focuses on non-diffractive Bessel beams for ophthalmological applications. The theoretical foundation of the non-diffractive Bessel beam is discussed first followed by a review of various ophthalmological applications utilizing Bessel beams. The advantages and disadvantages of these techniques in comparison to those of existing state-of-the-art ophthalmological systems are discussed. The review concludes with an overview of the current developments and the future perspectives of non-diffractive beams in ophthalmology.
