Tunneling-induced Talbot effect.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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 investigate the reforming of a plane wave into a periodic waveform in its propagation through a structural asymmetry four-level quantum dot molecule (QDM) system that is induced by an inter-dot tunneling process and present the resulting tunneling-induced Talbot effect. The tunneling process between two neighborhood dots is provided with the aid of a gate voltage. Using a periodic coupling field the response of the medium to the propagating plane probe beam becomes periodic. The needed periodic coupling field is generated with the interference of two coherent plane waves having a small angle and propagating almost parallel to the probe beam direction. In the presence of the tunneling effect of an electron between two adjacent QDs, for the probe beam propagating through the QDM system, the medium becomes transparent where the coupling fields interfere constructively. As a result, the spatial periodicity of the coupling field modulates the passing plane probe beam. We determine the minimum length of the QDM system to generate a periodic intensity profile with a visibility value equal to 1 for the probe field at the exit plane of the medium. It is also shown that by increasing the propagation length of the probe beam through the QDM medium, the profile of the maximum intensity areas becomes sharper. This feature is quantified by considering a sharpness factor for the intensity profile of the probe beam at the transverse plane. Finally, we investigate free space propagation of the induced periodic field and present the Talbot images of the tunneling-induced periodic patterns at different propagation distances for different values of the QDM medium lengths. The presented dynamically designing method of the periodic coherent intensity patterns might find applications in science and technology. For instance, in optical lithography, the need to use micro/nanofabricated physical transmission diffraction gratings, in which preparation of them is expensive and time-consuming, can be eliminated.
