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

Programmable photonic networks carry out universal unitary functions by independently operating on the amplitude and phase of guided light. Exploiting the reconfigurability and spatiospectral degrees of freedom of these systems, the majority of state-of-the-art photonics applications, ranging from microwave photonics to photonic computing and optical communication links, can be demonstrated in one unified system. Existing techniques require a large footprint due to weak modulation efficiency, and continuous power dissipation to maintain the configured state. Here, we demonstrate a programmable recirculating mesh unit cell based on the nonvolatile low-loss phase-change material Sb
