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 present a one-dimensional photonic crystal biosensor based on a Thue-Morse quasi-periodic structure incorporating parity-time (PT) symmetry and exceptional point (EP) engineering for enhanced cancer detection. By integrating alternating porous silicon gain-loss layers with graphene nanolayers, the proposed design achieves strong optical confinement and pronounced resonance sharpening near EP conditions. A systematic parametric study identified the optimal graphene chemical potential and relaxation time as 0.408 eV and 0.5 ps, respectively, leading to a maximum sensitivity of 1054 nm/RIU and a minimum detection limit of 9.875 × 10
