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

Surface roughness measurement is an integral part of the characterization of microtextured surfaces. Multiple established software packages offer the calculation of roughness parameters according to ISO 25178. However, these packages lack a specific set of features, which we hope to address in this work. Firstly, they often lack or have limited capabilities for automated and batch analysis, making it hard to integrate into other applications. Secondly, they are often proprietary and therefore restrict access to some potential users. Lastly, they lack some capabilities when it comes to the analysis of periodic microtextured surfaces. Namely, common parameters such as the peak-to-valley depth, spatial period and homogeneity cannot be calculated automatically. This work aims to address these challenges by introducing a novel Python library,
