Fabrication of waveguide directional couplers using 2-photon lithography.
Article in Optics express, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Advances in 2-photon lithography have enabled in-lab production of sub-micron resolution and millimeter scale 3D optical components. The potential complex geometries are well suited to rapid prototyping and production of waveguide structures, interconnects, and waveguide directional couplers, furthering future development and miniaturization of waveguide-based imaging technologies. System alignment is inherent to the 2-photon process, obviating the need for manual assembly and allowing precise micron scale waveguide geometries not possible in traditional fused fiber coupler fabrication. Here we present the use of 2-photon lithography for direct printing of multi-mode waveguide couplers with air cladding and single mode waveguide couplers with uncured liquid photoresin cladding. Experimental results show reproducible coupling which can be modified by selected design parameters.
