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

Lapping the surfaces of Si(111) crystals in a double-crystal monochromator significantly increases the intensity of high-energy X-ray beams. Systematic characterization using 100 keV X-rays shows that the total flux increases by factors of 7-11 relative to polished crystals. The resulting energy bandwidth (0.12-0.21%) remains substantially narrower than that of multilayer optics. These characteristics provide a useful compromise between spectral selectivity and beam intensity, enabling practical X-ray measurements that are difficult to achieve with either perfect-crystal monochromators or multilayer optics alone. Demonstrations of imaging, powder diffraction, and incoherent micro-focusing further highlight the practical utility of the resulting beams in applications where high photon statistics are prioritized. These results demonstrate that lapped Si crystals provide a robust and cost-effective approach to generating high-flux, moderate-bandwidth high-energy X-ray beams.
