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

An optomechanical frequency comb arises from the nonlinear interaction between optical and mechanical modes in a cavity, with its repetition rate set by the mechanical frequency. Despite promising applications in the microwave domain, previous demonstrations have been limited in spectral range due to inherently low mechanical frequencies. Here, we report an optomechanical comb with a record modulation span from 1 to 70 GHz, achieved by harnessing the strong optomechanical nonlinearity of a 2.5-μm-radius silicon carbide microdisk. With just 1 mW of dropped optical power, radiation pressure from a continuous-wave pump drives strong phonon lasing, generating 42 phase-locked harmonics with 1.655 GHz spacing. The combination of such broad bandwidth, low phase noise (-132 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency), and frequency stability (<10
