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

We demonstrate an InP-based mid-infrared photonic integrated circuit processed from a wafer in which two distinct quantum cascade laser active regions are grown in different areas on the same InP crystal. A passive InGaAs waveguiding layer is epitaxially deposited on top of the entire InP substrate prior to the laser active region growth to optically couple the lasers emission and to multiplex their emission wavelengths to a single output waveguide. The method demonstrated in this work enables the creation of monolithic photonic integrated circuits with emission wavelength spanning the entire 3-15 µm spectral range and it is of interest for a wide range of applications.
