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 most important optical component in an optical fiber endoscope is its objective lens. To achieve a high imaging performance level, the development of an ultra-compact objective lens is thus the key to an ultra-thin optical fiber endoscope. In this work, we use femtosecond laser 3D printing to develop a series of micro objective lenses with different optical designs. The imaging resolution and field-of-view performances of these printed micro objective lenses are investigated via both simulations and experiments. For the first time, multiple micro objective lenses with different fields of view are printed on the end face of a single imaging optical fiber, thus realizing the perfect integration of an optical fiber and objective lenses. This work demonstrates the considerable potential of femtosecond laser 3D printing in the fabrication of micro-optical systems and provides a reliable solution for the development of an ultrathin fiber endoscope.
