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

In 2022, the idea of the cosmic time synchronizer (CTS) was proposed for a precise wireless synchronization of local clocks (<100 ns). Because CTS does not require critical timing information traffic among CTS sensors, the technique can be considered robust against jamming and spoofing. In this work, a small-scale CTS sensor network has been developed and tested for the first time. Good time synchronization performances were obtained for a short-haul configuration (30-35 ns (SD, 1 σ), over 50-60 m). Based on the results of this work, CTS could be potentially conceived as a 'self-adjusting' system, offering high level continuous (perpetual) performances, to be considered either as a backup chain for GPS disciplined oscillators (GPS DO), a standalone standard for frequency and time interval measurements, or as a tool for the dissemination of reference time scales to final users, with improved characteristics in terms of robustness and reliability.
