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

Conventional microlens arrays (MLAs) are often constrained by their static focal properties, which limit post-fabrication adaptability in dynamic optical systems. To address this, we demonstrate a tunable beam shaper capable of real-time spot-size modulation by introducing an adjustable axial displacement between a primary lens and an MLA. A critical advancement of this work is the fabrication of ultra-thin MLAs featuring an exceptionally low aspect ratio (1:187.5) and continuous surface profiles. Through optimizing 3D lithography and ion beam etching (IBE) workflows, we achieved an optical-grade surface finish with a roughness (
