Ghost noise in single-fiber bidirectional transmission links and its suppression approaches.
Article in Communications engineering, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Single-fiber bidirectional transmission (Bidi transmission) enables efficient reuse of existing global communication cables for sensing, yet environmental disturbances induce link noise that fundamentally limits long-distance sensing performance. Despite extensive research efforts dedicated to Bidi transmission link noise suppression, existing methods fail to eliminate link noise, forcing the abandonment of the Bidi transmission scheme in large-scale deployments. Here, we uncover that the origin of this residual noise is the "ghost noise," which can be decomposed into polarization cross-coupling noise (PCN) and calculation cross-coupling noise (CCN). To address this ghost noise, we develop a polarization-traversal interrogation (PTI) technique integrated with pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) phase modulation. This hybrid approach achieves zero noise increase over a 7 km Bidi transmission link and realizes 94.8% background noise reduction in a 10 km Bidi transmission link. This breakthrough extends the low-noise Bidi analog transmission distance by six times, holding significant implications for the construction of sensing networks through global communication infrastructure.
