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

Topological cavities, whose modes are protected against perturbations, are promising candidates for novel semiconductor laser devices. To date, there have been several demonstrations of topological lasers (TLs) exhibiting robust lasing modes. The possibility of achieving nontrivial beam profiles in TLs has recently been explored in the form of vortex wavefront emissions enabled by a structured optical pump or strong magnetic field, which are inconvenient for device applications. Electrically pumped TLs, by contrast, have attracted attention for their compact footprint and easy on-chip integration with photonic circuits. Here, we experimentally demonstrate an electrically pumped TL based on photonic analogue of a Majorana zero mode (MZM), implemented monolithically on a quantum cascade chip. We show that the MZM emits a cylindrical vector (CV) beam, with a topologically nontrivial polarization profile from a terahertz (THz) semiconductor laser.
