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

Laser-plasma accelerators emerge as ultra-compact and versatile sources for numerous applications. Although the acceleration length is short (a few millimeters), they typically require large-scale infrastructures including ultra-high-power lasers, vacuum chambers and strict stability for temperature and humidity. As a result, most experiments are conducted in laboratories in large areas with controlled environments. Here, we present a highly compact (footprint of ~ 9 m²) and transportable system capable of generating electrons and photons in the MeV range at high repetition rates (up to 10 Hz) with average charge levels of 0.5 nC and up to 1 nC. This achievement shows the feasibility of performing laser-plasma acceleration outside of laboratory environments with a transportable system, significantly expanding the potential for practical applications.
