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

We present phaser, an open-source Python package that provides a unified interface to both conventional and autodifferentiation-based ptychographic algorithms. Features such as mixed-state probe, probe position correction, and multislice ptychography make experimental reconstructions practical and robust. Reconstructions are specified in a declarative format and can be run from a command line, Jupyter notebook, or web interface. Multiple computational backends are supported to provide maximum flexibility. We report reconstruction success for a variety of experimental datasets, and detail the effects of regularization on convergence and reconstruction quality. Reconstruction speed is benchmarked for single-slice and multislice reconstructions and compared to state-of-the-art packages. The software promises to speed the application and development of ptychographic methods for materials science.
