Influence of unidirectional polishing on the formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures on steel.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 have performed a detailed analysis of the dependence of the regularity of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on the surfaces of steel samples that have been ground (polished) to achieve unidirectional surface roughness. Two low spatial-frequency LIPSS data sets were created by scanning the steel surface with femtosecond laser pulses using field polarisation perpendicular and parallel to the direction of the initial linearity of the surface roughness. The images were analysed by SEM, and a database of LIPSS characteristics was created using a digital image processing module. It was found that the regularity of the LIPSS depends on the polarisation direction of the scanning beam with respect to the linearly polished surface. A statistically significant result was evaluated: scanning perpendicular to the direction of the initial roughness leads to more regular low spatial frequency LIPSS. Compatibility with electromagnetic scattering theories is demonstrated.
