Entanglement swapping through the amplitude damping noise channel.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
This paper investigates the degradation mechanism of the photon-number-encoded entanglement swapping protocol under the amplitude damping noise channel. By establishing a beam splitter physical model to simulate the energy dissipation process, the evolution density matrix of the input states [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] under independent noise channels is analytically derived, and the density matrix, fidelity, and concurrence of the target particle pair after entanglement swapping are presented. Furthermore, for the case where the initial states are maximally entangled states, this paper numerically simulates the variation curves of the fidelity and concurrence of the system after entanglement swapping with the noise parameter. The results show that as the noise intensity increases, both the fidelity and concurrence of the target system exhibit a decreasing trend. Simultaneously, due to the presence of noise, even if the input states are maximally entangled, the entanglement of the target system after swapping may be destroyed. Based on this, the study further deduces the constraint conditions required to maintain system entanglement in this scenario. Given the restrictive effect of these constraints on entanglement maintenance, this paper also specifically examines the fidelity and concurrence of the target state output from entanglement swapping in the case of 50 : 50 beam splitters when the input states are both maximally entangled. The research finds that in this case, since the constraints are not satisfied, even if the input states are maximally entangled, the entanglement of the output state completely disappears.
