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

Efficient data transfer between memory and photonic components is crucial for a wide range of applications. However, this necessity brings forth energy-efficient data movement challenges associated with the memory wall, underscoring the demand for a fast and low-energy electro-optic photonic memory solution. Here, we demonstrate a class of energy-efficient electro-optic devices, namely Pockels photonic memory, that combines low-field switchable ferroelectrics with lithium niobate's Pockel's effect. Among such devices, this article will describe in detail the integrated embodiment of a ferroelectric field-effect transistor with lithium niobate on insulator micro ring resonator. We achieve switchable and non-volatile multiple optical memory states (6 states per transistor) with ultra-low energy cost (femto Joule/state), while achieving robust 10 year data retention and read-write endurance exceeding 10
