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

Efforts to increase the number of filters are driven by the demand for miniaturized spectrometers and multispectral imaging. However, processes that rely on sequential fabrication of each filter are cost ineffective. Herein, we introduce an approach to produce at least 16 distinct filters based on a single low-resolution lithographic step with minimum feature size of 0.6 μm. Distinct from grayscale lithography, we employ standard binary lithography but achieve height variations in polymeric resist through a post-development reflow process. The resulting transparent polymeric films were incorporated in Fabry-Perot cavity structures with cavity thickness ranging from 90 to 230 nm to produce transmittance across the visible spectrum. This binary lithography and reflow (BLR) process demonstrates control of the dielectric layer thickness down to ∼15 nm. This new process provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional techniques in fabricating microscopic transmission filters, and other applications where precise thickness variation across the substrate is required.
