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
Cathodoluminescence (CL) enables optical-frequency analysis of samples with nanometer resolution, originating from the interaction of a focused electron beam with radiative electronic states or directly with the optical modes of the sample. Here, we decompose the various mechanisms underlying CL generation and emission from an archetypal spherical resonator using its spectral, angular, and spatially resolved features. We investigate the radiation of optical whispering-gallery modes in regimes of coherent and incoherent luminescence. The use of different experimental regimes allows us to disentangle the different contributions to the CL in spheres, namely photon absorption, generation, and radiative leakage, and conclude that the photon generation occurs precisely on the sphere's surface. In addition, the spheres serve as high-NA collimating lenses for CL, resulting in a mode quality unprecedented for CL in free space. We believe that such collimated and directed CL in free space will enhance existing quantum measurements of CL and facilitate new ones, such as high-rate electron-photon entangled pairs, CL from quantum emitters, and homodyne analysis of CL.
