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

In this letter we present a compact photon detection module, based on an 8×8 array of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). The use of a dedicated silicon technology for the fabrication of the sensors allows us to combine large active areas (50-μm diameter), high photon detection efficiency (49% at 550-nm wavelength) and low dark count rate. Thanks to a fully parallel architecture, the module provides voltage pulses synchronous to each photon detection for a maximum global count rate exceeding 1 Gcps. These properties makes the system suitable for operation in two different free-running modes. The first, suitable to acquire faint signals, allows multi-spot acquisitions and can be used to considerably reduce the measurement time in applications like single-molecule analysis. With the second it is possible to use all the pixels in a combined mode, to extend and move the dynamic range of the module to very high count rates and to attain number resolving capabilities.
