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

Next-generation optical wireless communication requires photodetectors that offer both high spectral selectivity and strong security against interception. However, conventional broadband devices remain vulnerable to spectral crosstalk and eavesdropping. Here we show a digitally encoded dual-narrowband organic photodetector that intrinsically integrates optical filtering with algorithm-assisted encryption to enable secure, high-fidelity optical wireless communication. Operating without an external power supply, the self-powered device employs a Fabry-Pérot cavity with a carefully designed organic spacer Liq to achieve selective detection at wavelengths of 485 nm and 910 nm, along with an ultrafast response time of 440 ns. By combining chaotic encryption with hardware-level wavelength selectivity, our hardware-software co-design system achieves an ultra-low bit-error rate of 9.17 × 10
