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

Quantum cryptography protocols aimed at providing communication security are based on the fundamental principle of quantum physics that non-orthogonal quantum states cannot be perfectly distinguished. The majority of practically applicable quantum cryptography realizations belong to the so-called device-dependent class of quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols. Security of the device-dependent protocols cannot be ensured without considering all the noises in the incorporated devices. Here, we analyze the influence of the preparation and detection noise on the loss control-based QKD that is built on continuous monitoring of the leakages in the fiber channel. By estimating the achievable secret key generation rates, we show the robustness of the loss control approach to trusted preparation and detection noises. Our findings demonstrate a positive impact of the trusted preparation noise on the QKD based on loss control for reverse and direct reconciliation scenarios.
