Integrated unidirectional traveling-wave phonon waveguide parametric amplifier.
Article in Nature communications, 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
Phonons, the quanta of elastic waves, play pivotal roles across a wide range of applications in both classical and quantum domains. Advancements in nanofabrication technologies have enabled phononic integrated circuits (PnICs) that provide nanoscale phonon control and enhanced interaction strengths, opening new avenues for fundamental research and innovative devices. Phonon amplifiers are essential active components of PnICs for advanced signal processing. However, traveling-wave integrated waveguide-based phonon parametric amplifiers have remained unrealized. Here, we demonstrate unidirectional traveling-wave phonon parametric amplification via the Stokes and Anti-Stokes processes of Brillouin scattering in a gallium nitride photonic-phononic hybrid integrated platform. This system offers strong confinement and low propagation losses for both optical and acoustic fields, facilitating robust photon-phonon interactions over extended spatial and temporal scales. With 50-mW on-chip pump power, we achieve 5.8 dB phonon gain (net gain -1.8 dB including propagation loss) while observing over 10 dB non-reciprocity between the forward and backward directions, realizing the first integrated unidirectional traveling-wave phonon parametric amplifier. Our work marks a significant advancement in integrated phononics and offers new opportunities for phononic-related information processing.
