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

Reliable monitoring of the incident X-ray beam intensity and position is essential in soft X-ray microspectroscopy, where beam instabilities directly affect data normalization and achievable spatial resolution. Conventional beam diagnostics are often implemented using offline detectors located far from the sample or by measuring downstream on empty regions of the sample support membrane, not fully reflecting the experimental conditions experienced during measurements. In this work, the development of functionalized soft X-ray optical elements based on monolithic silicon carbide (SiC) diode detectors, enabling real-time in situ beam diagnostics directly within a scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) setup, is presented. Two complementary device geometries are investigated: order-sorting aperture (OSA)-based detectors and center-stop-based detectors. The devices are fabricated using plasma-focused-ion-beam milling and substrate thinning, allowing the integration of optical and sensing functionalities with minimal changes to the beamline and endstation setup. The performance of the functionalized optics is experimentally validated at the PolLux STXM beamline of the Swiss Light Source. The devices provide simultaneous access to the transverse beam position and the incident beam intensity I
