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

Controlling the photonic environment of emitters is essential to the design of classical and quantum light sources. We study the case of a dipole-like emitter in a cylindrical pillar etched into a planar Bragg microcavity, which is a common design of quantum-dot single photon source. In addition to the well-known cavity modes created by the high-reflectivity of the Bragg mirrors at small in-plane wavevectors, we show the presence of broad spectral features that play a key role in controlling photon collection efficiency and Purcell enhancement. These 'non-cavity' modes are insensitive to the periodic index modulation of the Bragg reflectors, but arise from the cylindrical pillar geometry, as we show by comparison with simulations of uniform pillars, which reproduce the non-cavity modes. This approach provides a tool for understanding and modelling these often-disregarded decay channels as a function of source height, cavity dimensions and surface layers.
