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

As with any other microscopic technique, in atomic force microscopy (AFM), artifacts and problems can arise. Some of these happen due to improper use of the microscope by the operator, and some are due to particular characteristics of the sample. Some occur depending on the type of instrument or from probe damage. Some of them are artifacts inherent in the technique. Knowledge of these issues is important for correct data acquisition and interpretation, and in many cases, training in AFM is inadequate. In this chapter, we show examples of common artifacts in AFM and describe, where possible, how to overcome them. Other practical issues important for best practice in AFM operation, such as noise reduction and data processing, are also discussed.
