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

Suppression of the crosstalk between adjacent waveguides is important yet challenging in the development of compact and dense photonic integrated circuits (PICs). During the past few years, a few of excellent approaches have been proposed to achieve this goal. Here, we propose a novel strategy by introducing nonuniform subwavelength strips between adjacent waveguides. In order to determine the widths and positions of nonuniform subwavelength strips, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is utilized. Numerical results demonstrate that the coupling length between adjacent waveguides is increased by three (five) orders of magnitude in comparison with the case of uniform (no) subwavelength strips. Our method greatly reduces crosstalk and is expected to achieve a highly compact integrated density of PICs.
