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

To address the increasing demands for cost-effective, large-area, and precisely patterned alignment of liquid crystals, a fractional Talbot lithography alignment technique was proposed. A light intensity distribution with a double spatial frequency of a photomask could be achieved based on the fractional Talbot effect, which not only enhanced the resolution of lithography but also slashed system costs with remarkable efficiency. To verify the feasibility of the alignment method, we prepared a one-dimensional polymer grating as an alignment layer. A uniform alignment over a large area was achieved thanks to the perfect periodicity and groove depth of several hundred nanometers. The anchoring energy of the alignment layer was 1.82 × 10
