Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
With the rapid advancement of information technology, the data demands in transmission rates, processing speed, and storage capacity have been increasing significantly. However, silicon electro-optic modulators, characterized by their weak electro-optic effect, struggle to balance modulation efficiency and bandwidth. To overcome this limitation, we propose an electro-optic modulator based on an all-fiber micro-ring resonator and a p-Si/n-ITO heterojunction, achieving high modulation efficiency and large bandwidth. ITO is introduced in this design, which exhibits an ε-near-zero (ENZ) effect in the communication band. The real and imaginary parts of the refractive index of ITO undergo significant changes in response to variations in carrier concentration induced by the reverse bias voltage, thereby enabling efficient electro-optic modulation. Additionally, the design of the all-fiber micro-ring eliminates coupling losses associated with spatial optical-waveguide coupling, thereby resolving the high insertion loss of silicon waveguide modulators and the challenges of integrating MZI modulation structures. The results demonstrate that this modulator can achieve significant phase shifts at low voltages, with a modulation efficiency of up to 3.08 nm/V and a bandwidth reaching 82.04 GHz, indicating its potential for high-speed optical chip applications.
