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 photothermal properties of diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers enable simultaneous fluorescence emission and localized heating, yet conventional free-space quantum systems suffer from limited photothermal efficiency (typically<4°C/mW) and inadequate microwave integration (large in size). We developed a miniaturized quantum photothermal fiber probe utilizing a novel metal/polymer/glass composite optoelectronic fiber that simultaneously guides both lightwave and microwave radiation (at GHz). By integrating a micron-scale diamond at the fiber tip, the probe achieves enhanced photothermal conversion (13°C/mW, 25°C-120°C range) while providing real-time self-monitoring through temperature-dependent zero-field splitting measurements with 0.2°C thermal resolution at the micrometer scale. This mass-producible platform represents a new class of biocompatible quantum sensors combining high thermal efficiency and precise temperature feedback, as demonstrated by successful promotion of in vivo spinal cord injury repair through controlled thermal stimulation.
