On-chip topological edge state cavities.
Article in Light, science & applications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Confining light in an on-chip photonic cavity with strong light-matter interactions is pivotal for numerous applications in optical and quantum sciences. Recently, topological valley photonics has introduced new schemes for light confinement with topological protection, enabling robust on-chip light manipulation. Here, we present a topological edge state cavity that confines light within a topological bandgap while robustly guiding it to circulate around the cavity via topological edge states. We demonstrate a giant enhancement in the intrinsic quality factor by three orders of magnitude, while simultaneously increasing the free spectral range from 5.1 to 7.1 GHz through tailoring the radiation leakage and group index of topological valley edge state. Our work provides a novel and robust on-chip cavity platform for a wide range of applications, including high-capacity communications, nonlinear optics, atomic clocks, and quantum photonics.
