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
Coins contain multiple types of information, including denomination, design variant, year of issue, and surface condition. This study established a standardized 900-1700 nm short-wave infrared hyperspectral imaging (SWIR-HSI) workflow for controlled and non-destructive spectral comparison of metallic coins. Twenty-five independent New Taiwan dollar (NT$10) coins were used to evaluate imaging position, coin side, and aperture setting. At position 13 on the reverse side, the mean spectral standard deviations were 0.192, 0.142, and 0.151 for F1.8, F2.8, and F4, respectively, and F2.8 was selected for subsequent measurements. Using the same NT$10 coin, support-material and in-plane rotation experiments produced spectral angle mapper (SAM) ranges of 0.232-1.087 and 0.132-0.581, respectively. Under the standardized conditions, the SAM value between one new and one circulated NT$10 coin was 0.729. Pairwise SAM values ranged from 0.260 to 1.680 among eight NT$10 design variants and from 0.458 to 2.449 among six denomination or special-year samples. An initial repeatability evaluation under the current experimental conditions, using three additional NT$10 coins and 24 acquisitions, yielded mean SAM values of 0.2450°, 0.6368°, and 0.3323° for repositioning, inter-day, and inter-operator comparisons, respectively, with an overall median spectral CV of 0.83%. These results quantitatively demonstrate that acquisition conditions affect SWIR spectral measurement and that selected coin samples exhibit measurable spectral differences under controlled conditions. The present study focuses on acquisition standardization and descriptive spectral comparison and does not establish validated coin classification, material identification, or surface-condition assessment.
