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

Label-free optical microscopy utilizes the information encoded in light scattered off unlabeled particles to generate the images. This review article starts off with a discussion on how this light matter interaction gives rise to the issues of poor-contrast and diffraction-limited spatial resolution. Then, this article reviews the various far-field label-free optical microscopy techniques that have been developed, with an emphasis on the physical mechanisms behind the image formation processes in such techniques. Thus the article aims to elucidate the various state-of-the-art label-free techniques and their current applications.
