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
The ability to generate efficient and coherent frequency combs using photonic integrated circuits offers tremendous potential for a range of applications. X-cut thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) is promising for developing next-generation microcomb-driven photonic systems, providing a diversity of functionalities through combined [Formula: see text] and electro-optic effects. Normal-dispersion Kerr combs are critically needed because of their standout advantages, yet this dispersion regime remains unexplored on x-cut TFLN. Here, we design and demonstrate microresonators suitable for the robust generation of normal-dispersion Kerr combs. We show Kerr combs that substantially surpass state-of-the-art microcombs on x-cut TFLN in key performance metrics and an ultrabroad frequency comb whose existence is underpinned by both normal-dispersion Kerr dynamics and stimulated Raman scattering. Our work will unlock high-speed and low-energy-consumption photonic circuits for communications and signal processing enabled by a monolithic microcomb technology while also stimulating investigations of previously unknown nonlinear states that may synergize hybrid material nonlinearities.
