Influence of Lens Systematic Errors on Autocollimator Angle Measurement: Theoretical and Experimental Explanations.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Autocollimators are widely used for sensor calibration. It is crucial to suppress systematic errors and enhance the measurement accuracy of autocollimators. However, the influence mechanism of systematic errors originating from the collimator objective-such as aberrations, and particularly the coupled effect of aberrations and assembly deviation-on measurement accuracy is not well understood. By switching between the perspectives of ray tracing and aberration, we analyzed the influence mechanism of aberrations. The results indicate that only coma aberrations of various orders affect the accuracy. Then we applied nodal wave aberration theory and found that the influence of assembly deviation is a factor only related to the aberration under a certain offset (composed of translational and rotational components). In this work, we defined the sensitivity of assembly deviation as the ratio of this factor and the offset. In the experimental part based on a homemade autocollimator, the maximal errors of yaw angle are decreased from 2.09 arcsecs to 1.41 arcsecs, while the one of pitch angle is decreased from 2.32 arcsecs to 1.63 arcsecs, within a measuring interval of ±500 arcsecs. The sensitivity of assembly deviation of the collimator objective used is 0.004 arcsec per micron, which agrees with the theoretical analysis.
