Polymer/Silica Hybrid Waveguide Thermo-Optic VOA Covering O-Band.
Article in Micromachines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
In this paper, a polymer/silica hybrid waveguide thermo-optic variable optical attenuator (VOA), covering the O-band, is demonstrated. The switch is fabricated by simple and low-cost direct ultraviolet (UV) lithography. The multimode interferences (MMIs) used in the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI)-VOA are well optimized to realize low loss and large bandwidth. The VOA shows an extinction ratio (ER) of 18.64 dB at 1310 nm, with a power consumption of 8.72 mW. The attenuation is larger than 6.99 dB over the O-band. The rise and fall time of the VOA are 184 μs and 180 μs, respectively.
