Easy conic intersection with the common self-polar triangle.
Article in PloS one, 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
Intersecting two conics is a classical problem that is frequently encountered in many different areas of science, engineering, and art. For example, under perspective projection (e.g., in camera images), any degree-two curve (a conic) or surface (a quadric) projects to a conic. This is important since polynomials of degree two are commonly used to approximate the contour or surface of many real-world objects. This manuscript describes a simple solution to the conic intersection problem using a change of projective coordinates. Exploiting the properties of self-polar triangles, we show how to reduce the task to simply solving an eigenvalue problem of degree three and a quadratic equation in one variable. The self-polar triangle method provides an attractive alternative to more common methods, especially in settings that require explicit algorithmic solutions.
