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

Raman spectroscopy is limited by weak signals, fluorescence interference, and fibre-induced backgrounds. To address this, a 512-pixel complementary-metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) line sensor array with on-chip timing electronics was employed to enable the detection of weak Raman signals and use time gating to suppress background fluorescence and fibre-induced Raman signal. The functionality of this compact optical system is initially demonstrated in a free space setup, achieving an improved signal enhancement within shorter measurement times of 30 s. Finally, to support the development of miniaturised single fibre based Raman probes, the removal of fibre background is demonstrated through remote detection of paracetamol and other samples using time-gating and a 1 m 50 µm core multimode fibre.
