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

We propose an all-optical dual-stage laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA), staged with co-propagating two-color laser pulses in a plasma medium, to enhance the electron bunch energy. After the depletion of the leading fundamental laser pulse that initiates self-injection and sets up the first stage particle acceleration, the subsequent second-harmonic laser pulse takes over the acceleration process and accelerates the electron bunch in the second stage over a significantly longer distance than in the first stage. In this all optical dual-stage LWFA, the electrons can gain 3 times higher energy as compared to the energy gain from the single stage LWFA driven by a single-color laser pulse with equivalent energy. Our multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations demonstrate that a 10-GeV electron bunch with 20-pC charge can be obtained by the two-color dual-stage LWFA using total input laser power of 0.6 PW.
