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

Photon-in-textile offers transformative potential for wearable sensing, yet persistent challenges in signal overlap, coupling, and quality degradation in dynamic, multivariate environments limit their efficacy. A new polarization-enhanced sensing technology, enabled by a spin fibre-textile capable of efficient decoupling between multivariable interference, is presented. We develop a discrete helix anchoring strategy that autonomously embeds circularly polarized materials within fibres during extrusion, yielding kilometer-scale spin-photon fibres-exceeding 1300 m in continuous length. More importantly, the resulting core-sheath beaded fibres exhibit a luminescence asymmetry factor of 0.41. The fibre-woven fabrics are then produced, allowing for dynamic, real-time signal acquisition by our developed polarization-enhanced sensing approach-that is, distinguishing spin light from surrounding optical fields-achieving signal segmentation and noise suppression at source with 92.63% signal entropy reduction in dynamic scenarios. This spin-photon-digital signal conversion system realizes a superior normalized signal-to-noise ratio of 1.0 (noiseless), thereby enabling multi-dimensional robotic control with 100% sensing accuracy under interference. Furthermore, we demonstrate the scalability and compatibility of this technology in polarization-based image processing, target recognition, and virtual reality. This work offers an innovative solution for robust, embedded intelligence in soft robotics and human-machine symbiosis.
