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 rapid advancements in optical communication and sensing technologies have significantly increased the demand for advanced tunable spectral systems. This study presents a dual-band terahertz transmission and manipulation approach by leveraging the topologically protected properties of valley-topological photonic crystal edge states. The designed structure facilitates the excitation of the K valley within the range of 0.851-0.934 THz and the K' valley from 1.604 to 1.686 THz, while also demonstrating anomalous refraction and birefringence. The calculated emission angles, derived through momentum matching, enable transitions between single-wave and dual-wave emissions and allow for precise angle control. The introduction of the liquid crystal material NJU-LDn-4 enables continuous tuning of the dual-band spectral range under a varying electric field, broadening the operating frequency bands to the ranges of 0.757-0.996 THz and 1.426-1.798 THz, respectively. These findings suggest promising applications in tunable filter design, optical communication, photonic computing, optical sensing, and high-resolution imaging, particularly in novel optical devices requiring precise control over spectral characteristics and light propagation.
