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

Sample and diffractometer alignment for grazing-incidence X-ray measurements become ever more crucial once the beam and surface area of interest reach the nanometre scale. Here we show how a point of interest on a surface can be kept in the beam while measuring X-ray reflectivity, even if it is not in the centre of rotation, either because of systematic errors or additional unwanted angle-dependent sample movement. This can be achieved by a 1D trajectory scan varying the angle of incidence (θ), the detector angle (2θ) and the position of the sample along one axis in the scattering plane. As an example, we show the results of X-ray reflectivity measured from a 10 × 10 µm Au island using a 90 nm beam. Data analysis is presented which considers the angle-dependent X-ray beam footprint illuminating both the Au island and the surrounding support.
