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

Unipolar quantum optoelectronics is emerging as a promising semiconductor platform for developing mid-infrared applications, particularly spectroscopy and free-space communications. In this work, we present a proof of principle of a unipolar quantum optoelectronic hybrid Lidar - Radar for the measurement of the position and speed of a moving target. The system operates at 9 µm wavelength and is composed of a quantum cascade laser, a Stark modulator and a metamaterial quantum well infrared photodetector. The laser amplitude is modulated with a chirped radio-frequency subcarrier, and the backscattered light is detected coherently on the metamaterial quadratic receiver. With our system we have measured a ranging distance of 150 cm with an intrinsic resolution of 15 cm. Our demonstration is a first milestone towards combined communication and ranging systems in a transparency window of the atmosphere.
