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

Glass substrates are highly valued for their transparency, stability and biocompatibility, making them essential in optics, photonics, chemistry and biomedical devices. Femtosecond lasers enable precise glass ablation due to the capability to deliver pulses with high energy density leading to nonlinear absorption. This study examined how parameters like pulse energy, scan line density and pulse repetition rate affect the surface roughness of 3D borosilicate glass structures. Analysis by means of AFM, µCT and SEM revealed parameter settings to minimize roughness and prevent substrate damage. Post-treatments like HF etching and annealing further enhanced surface quality, resulting in smooth, transparent (T = 85.35%) microstructures especially for novel optical and optofluidic applications.
