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

Frequency upconversion technique, where the infrared signal is nonlinearly translated into the visible band to leverage the silicon sensors, offers a promising alternation for the mid-infrared (MIR) imaging. However, the intrinsic field of view (FOV) is typically limited by the phase-matching condition, thus imposing a remaining challenge to promote subsequent applications. Here, we demonstrate a wide-field upconversion imaging based on the aperiodic quasi-phase-matching configuration. The acceptance angle is significantly expanded to about 30°, over tenfold larger than that with the periodical poling crystal. The extended FOV is realized in one shot without the need of parameter scanning or post-processing. Consequently, a fast snapshot allows to facilitate high-speed imaging at a frame rate up to 216 kHz. Alternatively, single-photon imaging at room temperature is permitted due to the substantially suppressed background noise by the spectro-temporal filtering. Furthermore, we have implemented high-resolution time-of-flight 3D imaging based on the picosecond optical gating. These presented MIR imaging features with wide field, fast speed, and high sensitivity might stimulate immediate applications, such as non-destructive defect inspection, in-vivo biomedical examination, and high-speed volumetric tomography.
