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

Temporal modulation recently draws great attentions in wave manipulations, with which one can introduce the concept of temporal multilayer structure, a temporal counterpart of spatially multilayer configurations. This kind of multilayer structure holds temporal interfaces in the time domain, which provides additional flexibility in temporal operations. Here we take this opportunity and propose to simulate a non-Abelian gauge field with a temporal multilayer structure in the discrete physical system. Two basic temporal operations, i.e., the folding/unfolding operation and the phase shift operation are used to design such a temporal multilayer structure, which hence can support noncommutative operations to realize the non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm interference in the time domain. A two-/three-dimensional non-Abelian gauge field can be built, which may be further extended to higher dimensions. Our work therefore provides a unique platform enabling generalization of non-Abelian physics to arbitrary dimensions and offers a method for wave manipulations with temporal band engineering.
