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
In this paper, an angular position sensor (APS) designed for a resonant miniaturized scanning mirror (M-SM) is presented. The APS operates based on the principle of differential variable capacitance, significantly expanding the detectable bandwidth from a few hertz to several kilohertz. By modeling the motion characteristics, the sampling rates of the biaxial scanning angles are 1473.6 times and 539.4 times higher than those of conventional sensors. Initially, the motion characteristics model is presented as a simple harmonic motion, converting sampled capacitance into continuous capacitance. Subsequently, the nonparallel state of the M-SM and sensor is transformed into a parallel state through the space coordinate system transformation. Furthermore, a 2D nonlinear angle transfer function is developed to convert the differential capacitance into an angle, thereby mitigating the nonlinear errors resulting from large angles. Achieving an accuracy better than 0.014°, the measuring range expands from ±0.5729° (±10 mrad) to ±5.026° ( ± 87 mrad). Additionally, the capturing mode and tracking mode are proposed to monitor real-time angular changes of the M-SM with an accuracy of 0.017°. High-precision APSs have enhanced beam pointing accuracy and resolution and can thereby be used to advance the development of laser components, including light detection and ranging (LiDAR).
