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

Laser induced fluorescence was used for detection of free germanium atoms in a miniature diffusion flame atomizer. Two excitation schemes were tested, which were based on excitation wavelengths around 250 nm and 205 nm. The second scheme suffered from a fast collisionally induced excitation transfer to another radiative state, which could led to an erroneous overestimation of Ge concentration by an order of magnitude. The excitation transfer was quantified and the problem was solved by means of measurement of temporally resolved fluorescence spectra. The equations for evaluation of fluorescence measurements affected by an excitation transfer to radiative states are presented. The obtained Ge concentration profiles revealed a strongly inhomogeneous distribution of free Ge atoms and a low germane atomization efficiency in the flame.
