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

Miniaturised optical spectrometers are attractive due to their small footprint, low weight, robustness and stability even in harsh environments such as space or industrial facilities. We report on a stationary-wave integrated Fourier-transform spectrometer featuring a measured optical bandwidth of 325 nm and a theoretical spectral resolution of 1.2 nm. We fabricate and test on lithium niobate-on-insulator to take full advantage of the platform, namely electro-optic modulation, broad transparency range and the low optical loss achieved thanks to matured fabrication techniques. We use the electro-optic effect and develop innovative layouts to overcome the undersampling limitations and improve the spectral resolution, thus providing a framework to enhance the performance of all devices sharing the same working principle. With our work, we add another important element to the portfolio of integrated lithium-niobate optical devices as our spectrometer can be combined with multiple other building blocks to realise functional, monolithic and compact photonic integrated circuits.
