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 experimentally demonstrate the existence and control of coherent superpositions of elastic states in the direction of propagation of an ultrasonic pseudospin i.e., a φ-bit. The experimental realization of this mechanical pseudospin consists of an elastic aluminum rod serving as a waveguide sandwiched between two heavy steel plates. The Hertzian contact between the rod and the plates leads to restoring forces which couple the directions of propagation (forward and backward). This coupling generates the coherence of the superposition of elastic states. We also demonstrate φ-bit gate operations on the coherent superposition analogous to those used in quantum computing. In the case of a φ-bit, the coherent superposition of states in the direction of propagation are immune to wave function collapse upon measurement as they result from classical waves.
