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

We describe a mini-endoscope design that uses a new type of electrically tunable liquid crystal lens array enabling the dynamic increase of spatial resolution by adjusting the working distance in various zones of interest over a relatively large field of view (FoV) without mechanical movement. The characterization of the system is performed by using uniform fluorescent films, fluorescent micro spheres and a tissue sample expressing the fluorescent calcium indicator GCaMP6s. Lateral resolution of up to 2 µm over the FoV between 300 µm - 400 µm is experimentally demonstrated.
