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

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilevers are essential components that function both as force sensors and nanoscale interaction tools that play a critical role in AFM capabilities, sensitivity, and precision. Conventional fabrication techniques for probes, that rely on silicon or silicon nitride bulk micro-machining, generally requires complex fabrication processes associated to low throughput and limited geometric flexibility. Here the development of innovative AFM cantilevers made of silica glass through a novel approach based on selective laser etching is explored, which offers cantilever and tip design flexibility, condense the process into three steps, and reduces the fabrication time and cost while minimizing reliance on complex equipment and clean room facilities. The fabrication and characterization of functional glass cantilevers with thicknesses ranging from 1 to 50 µm and spring constants spanning from 0.02 to 80 N m
