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

Light beams carrying Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) are of broad interest in fundamental optics and have important applications in communication, sensing, and metrology. Conventional techniques require capturing full-beam spot with large optics, restricting scalability and integration. In this work, we demonstrate that both the order and sign of OAM modes can be identified by sampling only a small part of the beam. Reliable mode discrimination was achieved using only [Formula: see text] of the beam cross-section. Experiments with [Formula: see text] agreed with analytical predictions within [Formula: see text] error, and simulations up to [Formula: see text] confirmed systematic order-dependent shifts. This localized sampling approach provides a hardware-efficient and scalable pathway for OAM detection in optical communication, metrology, and integrated photonics.
