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
THz radiation has gained great importance due to its potential applications in a wide variety of fields. For this reason, continuous efforts have been made to develop technological tools for use in this versatile band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Here, we propose a reflecting device with long focusing performances in the sub-THz band, using a bimirror device in which the relative angle is mechanically adjusted with the displacement of one of the mirrors. Despite the simplicity of the setup, the performance of this device is satisfactory down to a frequency of 0.1 THz. Theory and experience confirm that the bimirror is capable of focusing 0.1 THz radiation with a 2× magnification of the maximum input intensity while maintaining a longitudinal full width at half maximum (FWHM) of about 6 mm, which is about 12 times the depth of focus of a cylindrical optical element of the same focal length. In the absence of suitable THz equipment, the invariance property of the Fresnel diffraction integral allowed the predicted behavior to be tested in the THz range using conventional equipment operating at visible frequencies.
