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

We experimentally demonstrate compact and broadband rapid adiabatic couplers (RACs) with arbitrary power split ratios, achieved through the combination of translational offset and waveguide width control. Fabricated RACs of four different target split ratios show power splitting within ±3 % of the design target over a 160 nm wavelength range. Using these RACs, we implement an 8-channel dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) interleaver exhibiting < -20 dB crosstalk for the center eight channels with flat-top passbands. Over a broader wavelength range, the design maintains crosstalk below -10 dB across more than 40 channels with 100 GHz spacing, demonstrating the broadband capability and scalability of RAC-based photonic integrated circuits.
