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

Anti-resonant hollow core fibres have significant advantages derived from the guidance of light in air, and have been rapidly developed and employed in the near and mid-infrared. Despite comparable or greater benefits in the visible and ultraviolet, their development and uptake has been slow due to inherent challenges in their fabrication. In this perspective, we provide a brief look at these fabrication challenges, possible solutions and potential applications for hollow core fibres in the short-wavelength limit.
