Low spatial frequency surface feature formation during femtosecond laser deep engraving: origins and mechanisms.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
In this study, we explore the formation of high-amplitude, low-spatial-frequency surface features - also commonly referred to as waviness - during laser deep engraving of dielectric materials. This unique phenomenon significantly increases surface roughness and undermines the ability to control it during deep engraving, limiting the technique's applicability. Here we establish the experimental conditions under which these features are formed and demonstrate how they depend on various processing conditions. Furthermore, we develop a numerical model that considers acoustic wave propagation in a confined cavity. Combining a numerical model with experimental results we demonstrate that the formation of low-spatial-frequency features is governed by the interaction between incident laser pulses and the residual effects of preceding pulses. Finally, building on this insight, we developed strategies to suppress the formation of such surface features, reducing the final surface roughness by a factor of ten.
