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

Coherently driven optical microresonators with Kerr nonlinearity have received intense interest since they host various nonlinear optical states including solitons and chaos. Recently, chaotic modulational instabilities (MIs)-a state far from equilibrium-have been exploited for parallel ranging and random number generation. Despite theoretical predictions suggesting unconventional wave statistics in chaotic MI, its rapidly varying temporal waveforms have prohibited direct experimental assessment. Here, we use a frequency-agile optical frequency comb to coherently interrogate the optical field within the microresonator in both temporal and spectral domains. In the chaotic regime, we observe transient events characterized by extremely high optical intensity, identified as rogue waves based on the long-tailed distribution of peak powers. Statistical analysis of many rogue wave events reveals their origin as pulse collisions. Our full-field measurement further unveils universal correlated photon transport that determines the collision process.
