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

Extending electro-optic bandwidth of native silicon photonic devices well beyond 100 GHz remains a challenge. We demonstrate a scalable C-band silicon photonic platform monolithically integrating ultra-high speed germanium-silicon electro absorption modulators and fin photodiodes. We apply a delta-layer doping process to incorporate Si into Ge. Two electro-absorption modulator variants with lengths of 40 µm and 20 µm exhibit electro optic 3-dB bandwidths of 100 GHz and well beyond 110 GHz, respectively. Co-integrated GeSi-fin photodiodes achieve 3-dB bandwidths of more than 200 GHz. Involving only platform integrated absorption modulators and fin photodiodes, we demonstrate open-eyes in a large signal experiment at 140 Gbit/s. This work establishes an important milestone for next generation optical communication technology.
