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

The optical transmission spectra of a series of micro-ring resonators (MRRs) are studied following the implantation of gold (Au) ions and subsequent thermal annealing at temperatures between 500 [Formula: see text]C and 700 [Formula: see text]C. Whilst we find that this process leads to the ready formation of Au nanoparticles (NPs) partially embedded in the MRR surface, the cavity optical properties, Q-factor and extinction ratio (ER) are severely degraded, for annealing between 500 [Formula: see text]C and 600 [Formula: see text]C, but recover again for annealing at 650 [Formula: see text]C. For an equivalent (control) MRR, which received no Au implantation, thermal annealing alone was also found to degrade the cavity performance.
