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 magnetometer (MAG) is one of the ten scientific instruments on the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP), which will take in situ and remote measurements from a Sun-Earth L1 halo orbit. MAG contributes to IMAP science goals of investigating the acceleration and propagation of energetic particles, as well as providing real-time space weather monitoring data. The magnetometer is a conventional dual sensor fluxgate instrument with a noise floor under 10 pT at 1 Hz, taking science measurements continuously at 2 vectors/s as well as a burst mode of 64 vectors/s for at least 8 hours per day. It also provides a real-time space weather monitoring product at 4 second cadence. We describe the requirements, design and performance of the instrument, including a novel lossless compression algorithm. Data products, processing and calibration plans are presented.
