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

Sample positioning in X-ray imaging is often technically demanding and involves radiation exposure to the sample. For easier and damage-free positioning, the integration of a visible-light microscope is an effective and widely adopted approach. However, such visible-light microscopes require careful calibration of the objective optic against the X-ray microscope, which introduces additional challenges. To address this issue, we propose a simple total-reflection-based microscope compatible with X-rays and visible light using a Wolter mirror which functions as both X-ray condenser optic and visible-light objective optic. Calibrating our visible-light microscope requires only simple adjustment of an optical lens and three planar mirrors, while no adjustment of the objective optic. We constructed our proposed system for a soft X-ray ptychography system and successfully demonstrated the simple calibration of the visible-light microscope, which was then applied to position a biological sample without delivering a radiation dose.
