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

Recent advances in quantum technology have highlighted the importance of controlling quantum states, especially in open quantum systems, where the system interacts with the environment. Non-Hermitian quantum mechanics describes these systems. Photonic systems are a key platform for studying non-Hermitian quantum mechanics owing to their ability to engineer gain and loss. Ultracold atomic gases also have been used to study non-Hermitian quantum mechanics; however, unlike photonics, gain control is challenging, limiting exploration to control of loss. In this paper, we report engineering of effective gain through evaporative cooling of judiciously selected initial thermal atoms, leading to Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the excited eigenstates of a synthetic lattice. We achieve BEC formation in a topological edge state of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger lattice in the synthetic hyperfine lattice, akin to atomic laser oscillations at a topological edge mode, that is, a topological atom laser.
