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 describe an application of laser-driven modulation in a dielectric micro-structure for the electron beam in a free-electron laser (FEL). The energy modulation is transferred into longitudinal bunching via compression in a magnetic chicane before entering the undulator section of the FEL. The bunched electron beam comprises a series of enhanced current spikes separated by the wavelength of the modulating laser. For beam parameters of SwissFEL at a total bunch charge of 30 pC, the individual spikes are expected to be as short as 140 as (FWHM) with peak currents exceeding 4 kA. The proposed modulation scheme requires the electron beam to be focused into the micrometer scale aperture of the dielectric structure, which imposes strict emittance and charge limitations, but, due to the small interaction region, the scheme is expected to require ten times less laser power as compared to laser modulation in a wiggler magnet, which is the conventional approach to create a pulse train in FELs.
