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

Compound eyes feature unique optical structures and high-efficiency image processing. The opto-olfactory nervous system of Drosophila has the characteristics of lightweight and low power consumption. Significant efforts have been dedicated to the design and manufacturing of artificial compound eye system. However, it is still challenging to construct a bionic visual-olfactory compound eye microsystem with sensitive photoelectric response and accurate olfactory perception in insect-scale, mimicking the biological multimodal fusion decision-making mechanism. Here, we report a miniature apposition compound eye that integrates 1027 ommatidia on 1.5×1.5 mm
