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

We present the development of a corneal phantom designed to enable resolution assessment for non-contact corneal microscopy. The phantom was fabricated by casting a UV-curable epoxy mixed with 400-nm-diameter gold nanoparticles into a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold with a curved surface to achieve a cornea-like geometry. The radius of curvature of the final manufactured phantom was 8.14-8.17 mm with a refractive index of 1.39, similar to the adult human cornea. The optical phantom was used to evaluate the resolution of a prototype non-contact confocal microscope, the portable
