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

Miniaturized biomedical sensor development requires improvements in lithographic processes in terms of cost and scalability. Of particular promise is nanoimprint lithography (NIL), but this can suffer from a lack of high-fidelity pattern reproducibility between master and imprinted substrates. Herein, we present a multidisciplinary investigation into gold- and iron-coated NIL sensors including custom optics and spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy, and data analysis insights. Polyurethane NIL-made nanodome arrays were interrogated with white light transmission spectroscopy, coupled with principal component analysis (PCA) to investigate potential offsets in the photon-substrate plane interaction angle, an imperfection in NIL substrates. Large-angle mismatches (2-10°) were found to be easily discernible by PCA with statistically significant differences (
