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

Surface-emitting (SE) semiconductor lasers have changed our everyday life in various ways such as communication and sensing. Expanding the operation wavelength of SE semiconductor lasers to shorter ultraviolet (UV) wavelength range further broadens the applications to disinfection, medical diagnostics, phototherapy, and so on. Nonetheless, realizing SE lasers in the UV range has remained to be a challenge. Despite of the recent breakthrough in UV SE lasers with aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN), the electrically injected AlGaN nanowire UV lasers are based on random optical cavities, whereas AlGaN UV vertical-cavity SE lasers (VCSELs) are all through optical pumping and are all with large lasing threshold power densities in the range of several hundred kW/cm
