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

We demonstrate a complete and experimentally validated self-testing protocol for two-qubit partially entangled states, which avoids the need for full tomographic reconstruction. Using a room-temperature type-II PPKTP polarization-entangled source and a free-space optical setup, we implement both quantum state tomography and optimal generalized Bell measurements within a single system. Our approach achieves high-fidelity self-testing of non-maximally entangled states under black-box assumptions, establishing a solid foundation for device-independent quantum information processing applications.
