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

Integrating recording electrodes into optical imaging devices presents significant fabrication and material challenges, particularly for lightweight platforms used in freely moving applications. Here, we report an optimized laser carbonization process for the direct fabrication of high-performance carbon microelectrodes compatible with on-chip imaging platforms. We systematically investigated the influence of laser power and repetition rate on the carbonization of parylene-C to maximize graphitization while avoiding ablation. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the formation of graphitic carbon, with the lowest average D-to-G band intensity ratio (I
