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

The need for high resolution microLED arrays, for applications in chip-level optical interconnects and augmented/virtual reality displays, requires the continuing miniaturization of the LED to reduce the pixel size and enable high pixel density. Miniaturization typically degrades brightness because of surface-related non-radiative recombination. Here we demonstrate a combined dry/wet etching process with polymeric encapsulation to construct InGaN-based microLEDs that show negligible degradation due to sidewall effects for devices having diameters as small as 6 µm. The microLEDs exhibit low surface recombination velocities ( <10 cm s
