An achromatic neutron lens.
Article in Nature communications, 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
Neutrons provide exceptional insight into materials, owing to their sensitivity to light elements, isotopic composition, magnetic moments, and high-penetration. However, neutron sources are polychromatic and of low brightness. Neutron optics provides a route to address these limitations by focusing, and to date, various types of neutron optics have been developed based on reflection, refraction, diffraction, and magnetism. Notably, compound refractive lenses and Fresnel zone plates have been demonstrated for imaging, yet their severe chromatic aberration under polychromatic beams has prevented their widespread use and limits progress towards true high-resolution neutron microscopy. Here, we demonstrate an achromatic neutron lens for full-field neutron microscopy. This development overcomes the intrinsic sample-detector distance constraint in pinhole-based radiography. The lens magnification enables the use of efficient detection systems without loss of spatial resolution and establishes a pathway towards high-resolution neutron microscopy. We anticipate the neutron achromat will advance a broad range of neutron methods.
