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

Artificial vision systems hold transformative potential for biomedical imaging, diagnostics, and translational research by emulating and extending the capabilities of biological eyes. However, current techniques often face intrinsic trade-offs between spatial resolution, field of view, and depth perception, particularly in compact, biologically relevant settings. Here, we introduce FOLIC, a foveated light-field compound imaging system, which integrates compound-eye-inspired wide angular coverage and chambered-eye-inspired spatial acuity within a unified multiaperture concave architecture. FOLIC naturally generates peripheral, blend, and foveated zones from a single capture, enabling seamless, depth-extended, multiscale visualization from wide-field context down to single-cell lateral resolution. We validate FOLIC across diverse fluorescent and nonfluorescent specimens, including cellular phantoms, tissue sections, and small organisms, demonstrating its versatility and scalability for biomedical research and related translational applications. We anticipate FOLIC to offer a biologically informed design blueprint for future artificial vision systems.
