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

A successful scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) experiment relies on both delicate sample preparation and measurement, and careful image filtering and analysis to provide clear and solid results. Processing and analysis of STM images may result in a tricky task, due to the complexity and specificity of the probed systems. In this paper, we introduce our recently developed, simple Python-based methods for filtering and analysing STM images, with the aim of providing a semi-quantitative treatment of the input data. Case studies will be presented using images obtained through electrochemical STM. Additionally, we propose a straightforward yet effective universal drift-correction tool for SPM image sequences.
