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 registryThe 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.

6 · The paper itselfAbstract
Entanglement is one of the most striking phenomena in quantum physics, playing important roles in fundamental physics and quantum information science. It enables a secure means of communication-quantum cryptography-and builds up the foundation of its unconditional security. Entanglement-based quantum cryptography has received great attention from the early demonstrations to the recent remarkable achievements. In a practical scenario, although entanglement-based quantum cryptography can provide inherent source-independent security, its detection side has been shown to be vulnerable to external probing attacks. Here we show that entanglement swapping can effectively solve this critical issue, enabling a side-channel-free quantum cryptography.Entanglement swapping allows each user's quantum state preparation and detection in a completely private station, which is immune to
