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 Light-only Liquid Xenon experiment (LoLX) employs a small-scale detector equipped with 96 Hamamatsu VUV4 silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) submerged in 5 kg of liquid xenon (LXe) to perform characterization measurements of light production, transport and detection in xenon. In this work, we perform a novel measurement of the "external cross-talk" (ExCT) of SiPMs, where photons produced in the avalanche escape the device and produce correlated signals on other SiPMs. SiPMs are the photodetector technology of choice for next generation rare-event search experiments; understanding the sources and effects of correlated noise in SiPMs is critical for producing accurate estimates of detector performance and sensitivity projections. We measure the probability to observe ExCT through timing correlation of detected photons in low-light conditions within LoLX. Measurements of SiPM ExCT are detector dependent; thus the ExCT process is simulated and modelled using the Geant4 framework. Utilizing simulations, we determine the average transport and detection efficiency for ExCT photons within LoLX, a necessary input to extract the true ExCT probability and detector independent photon emission intensity. For an applied overvoltage of 4 V and 5 V, we measure a mean number of photons emitted into LXe per avalanche of
