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

Topology in quench dynamics gives rise to intriguing dynamic topological phenomena, which are intimately connected to the topology of static Hamiltonians yet challenging to probe experimentally. Here we theoretically characterize and experimentally detect momentum-time skyrmions in parity-time [Formula: see text]-symmetric non-unitary quench dynamics in single-photon discrete-time quantum walks. The emergent skyrmion structures are protected by dynamic Chern numbers defined for the emergent two-dimensional momentum-time submanifolds, and are revealed through our experimental scheme enabling the construction of time-dependent non-Hermitian density matrices via direct measurements in position space. Our work experimentally reveals the interplay of [Formula: see text] symmetry and quench dynamics in inducing emergent topological structures, and highlights the application of discrete-time quantum walks for the study of dynamic topological phenomena.
