Nanometric dual-comb ranging using photon-level microcavity solitons.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Laser-based absolute distance measurement with low return power, fast measurement speed, high precision, and immunity to intensity fluctuations is highly demanded in applications spanning from nanotechnology to satellite formation. However, achieving all these objectives simultaneously remains a significant challenge for miniaturized systems. Here, we demonstrate dual-comb ranging (DCR) that encompasses all these capabilities by using a coherent soliton pair generated in an integrated microresonator. We derive equations linking the DCR precision with comb line powers, revealing the advantage of microcomb's large line spacing in precise ranging quantitatively. Leveraging the advantage, our system reaches 1-nm-precision and measures nm-scale vibration at frequencies up to 0.9 MHz. Precise DCR is possible even in the presence of strong intensity noise and loss, using a mean received photon number as low as 5.5 × 10
