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

Soliton microcombs offer unprecedented laser sources for high-precision ranging due to their merits of high repetition rate, excellent coherence, and compact size. However, high repetition rate limits the nonambiguity range (NAR) of ranging. Previous dual-comb-based methods can extend the NAR, but asynchronous measurement error (AME) is commonly introduced, which greatly limits the ranging accuracy. Here, we propose a cross dual-microcomb absolute ranging scheme based on dispersion-interferometry method. The AME introduced during dynamic measurement is completely eliminated by one-shot spectral sampling, while the NAR is extended from 3 millimeters to 339 meters by Vernier effect when the repetition-rate jitter is 2 hertz. In addition, the excellent system performance has been verified at different distances and the Allan deviation down to 5.63 nanometers after averaging 56 seconds. Our scheme boasts the potential of straightforward chip architecture and minimal detector requirements and provides an advanced method for future high-precision long-distance ranging and miniaturized lidar systems.
