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

Integrated radio-frequency (RF) photonics plays a pivotal role in wireless communications, sensing, and radar applications. However, the bulky feature of essential RF components still constrains practical deployments in covert, conformal, and space-limited applications. As a promising solution through synergistic integration of both RF and photonics, we demonstrate a photonic RF receiver chip integrating a bow-tie antenna and a microring modulator on thin-film lithium niobate platform. The chip leverages a dual-resonance enhancement mechanism, combining RF and optical resonances, to significantly boost the RF-to-optical conversion efficiency. A record-high figure of merit of 3.88 W
