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

Integration of photogrammetry and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) algorithms has garnered attention to enhance visual fidelity and geometric accuracy in three-dimensional (3D) modeling. Here we show an ultralight 10 g solid-state single-photon LiDAR that minimizes photon cost per measurement. Achieving a maximum indoor distance of 25 m and a point cloud density of ~3.16 Mpps, the LiDAR provides geometric fidelity, while maintaining fine structure information challenging for conventional LiDAR. Key embedded components include a Q-switching semiconductor laser, which emits a 50-ps pulse-width tail-free laser using bandgap renormalization. A four-channel time-to-digital converter achieves a 3 ps timing jitter per channel and features real-time time-walk error correction for Poisson-distributed photon counts.
