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

Future radio access networks must accommodate growing mobile data traffic. Capacity between mobile devices and remote radio units (RRUs) must increase by using higher wireless carrier frequencies. Higher frequencies reduce reach, requiring RRU densification and high-capacity front- and backhaul connections. Optical fiber offers high throughput, but deployment can be expensive or unfeasible. Here we show an all-photonic sub-THz wireless link at 226 GHz over 1400 m, achieving a record-high net-rate-distance product of 214.2 Gbit s
