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

In this study, frequency locking technology is investigated for high-stability microwave frequency standards based on diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. Conventional locking methods typically utilize the side peaks induced via Zeeman splitting; however, this approach renders the frequency output highly susceptible to ambient magnetic field fluctuations. To address this limitation, a robust frequency locking method based on the central peak of the Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR) spectrum is proposed. By systematically optimizing the bias magnetic field, the proposed method exploits the central peak's inherent insensitivity to magnetic field variations and its narrower linewidth in environments with weak magnetic fields, thereby enhancing the quality factor of the frequency discrimination curve. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves closed-loop locking of the 2.87 GHz microwave frequency, reaching short-term frequency stability (Allan deviation) of 1.73 × 10
