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

We present a straightforward, application-driven telecentric stereo 3D-measurement system for high-precision measurements, designed for applications ranging from industrial quality control to biological research including scanning of Lepidoptera moths. Utilizing a dual-camera setup with telecentric lenses and structured illumination, our system achieves lateral resolution of 8.0 [Formula: see text]m and axial resolution of 4.46 [Formula: see text]m in a measurement volume of 11 mm [Formula: see text] mm [Formula: see text] mm. We address challenges typically encountered when using standard libraries like OpenCV, e.g. in extrinsic parameter estimation using a dedicated calibration method that corrects for a potential model mismatch due to telecentricity. Our approach adapts existing methods, such as telecentric stereo vision and structured illumination, into an optimized, user-friendly system tailored for life science research, enabling detailed 3D-reconstructions of scattering objects, such as small moths, with isotropic micrometer accuracy. This work presents an application-driven approach for biological 3D-metrology by integrating existing technologies (telecentric stereo vision, structured illumination) into a specialized imaging platform suitable for non-invasive morphological studies. Unlike conventional CT or microscopic approaches, our method provides a balance of precision, scalability, and practical usability for non-expert users with the aim to study developmental changes in species under varying environmental conditions, while also methodically bridging the gap between macroscopic and microscopic resolution in biological imaging.
