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

The design of a thinned linear optical phased array (OPA) comprising a collection of waveguide grating antennas (WGAs) is addressed in this work. Given a fully populated linear OPA with antennas located in a uniform grid, the problem of selecting which elements have to be removed or retained is formulated as an optimization one. To this end, the definition of the optimal thinning architecture is produced through a multi-objective optimization strategy with the goal of minimizing the number of required antenna elements while maintaining a low sidelobe level and narrow beam width. A set of representative results is presented, also considering realistic WGA modeling to assess the capabilities and the potentialities of the proposed approach.
