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

Mass density is a vital property for the improved biophysical understanding of and within biological samples. It is increasingly attracting active investigations, but still lacks reliable, noncontact techniques to accurately characterize it in biological systems. Contrary to popular belief, refractive index information alone is insufficient to determine a sample's mass density, as we demonstrate here theoretically and experimentally. Instead, we measured the nonlinear gain of stimulated Brillouin scattering to provide additional information for the mass density estimation. This all-optical method reduces the estimation error 10-fold, offering a more accurate and universal technique for mass density measurements.
