Diffractive lenses for neutron techniques.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Many neutron techniques can greatly benefit from enhanced neutron lenses for focusing and imaging. In this work, we revisit the potential of diffractive optics for neutron beams, building on advanced high-resolution nano-lithography techniques developed for the fabrication of X-ray diffractive optics used at synchrotron facilities. We demonstrate state-of-the-art fabrication of nickel and silicon Fresnel zone plates and we report proof-of-concept experiments for full-field neutron microscopy and small angle neutron scattering. The advancement of neutron diffractive optics will open new opportunities for neutron techniques, improving both the efficiency and resolution of existing instruments.
