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
Recent studies on nonlocal metasurfaces have shown possibilities of optical image processing, such as edge detection, without the need for Fourier optics and have significantly reduced the form factor. However, the analog edge detection using nonlocal metasurfaces still requires the use of multiple lenses to image the edge-enhanced results, and the edge-detected image generally suffers from image distortion originating from the free space propagation before reaching the detector otherwise. In this work, we propose a nonlocal metasurface that not only enhances the edge features but also delivers them to the far-field with considerably less distortion by combining the conventional edge detection metasurface with a uniaxial slab that has a transfer function of the free space with a negative propagation length. This space expander cancels out the diffraction of the edge-enhanced image that occurs during the free space propagation, the thickness of which reaches several orders of magnitude larger than the slab thickness. This nonlocal metasurface for the far-field edge detection will open a path towards compact optical systems for high-quality analog image processing.
