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

With the increasing demand for ultrafast optical signal processing, silicon-on-silica (SoS) waveguides with ring resonators have emerged as a promising platform for integrated all-optical logic gates (AOLGs). In this work, we design and simulate a SoS-based waveguide structure, operating at the telecommunication wavelength of 1550 nm, consisting of a circular ring resonator coupled to straight bus waveguides using Lumerical FDTD solutions. The design achieves a high Q-factor of 11,071, indicating low optical loss and strong light confinement. The evanescent coupling between the ring and waveguides, along with optimized waveguide dimensions, enables efficient interference, realizing a complete suite of AOLGs (XOR, AND, OR, NOT, NOR, NAND, and XNOR). Numerical simulations demonstrate robust performance across all gates, with high contrast ratios between 11.40 dB and 13.72 dB and an ultra-compact footprint of 1.42 × 1.08 µm
