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

Micro-nano measurement represents a critical engineering focus in the advancement of micro-nano fabrication technologies. Exploring advanced micro-nano measurement methods is a key direction for driving progress in micro-nano manufacturing. This study proposes a confocal measurement method utilizing a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) to simulate a binary Fresnel lens for 3D focusing, enabling the non-mechanical measurement of spatial positions on sample surfaces. Specifically, it introduces a 3D focusing method based on LC-SLM, constructs a confocal microscopy 3D focusing system, and conducts lateral focusing experiments and axial focusing experiments. Experimental results demonstrate that the system can freely adjust lateral focusing positions. Within an axial focusing range of 900 μm, it achieves axial measurement accuracy exceeding 1 μm, with a maximum resolution capability of approximately 16.667 nm. Compared to similar confocal microscopy systems, this method allows rapid adjustment of lateral focusing positions without regenerating phase grayscale maps, achieves comparable axial measurement accuracy, and enhances measurement speed.
