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

Compact, lightweight, and energy-efficient cold-atom systems are foundational for the development of deployable quantum technologies, yet their realization remains largely constrained due to reliance on bulky optical and magnetic components. Here, we demonstrate a record-low-SWaP (size, weight, and power) magneto-optical trap architecture seamlessly integrating planar photonic and magnetic components into a monolithic, scalable, and manufacturable platform. This is achieved by developing a multifunctional metasurface that converts a linearly-polarized Gaussian beam into a circularly-polarized flat-top beam (FTB), replacing conventional lens-waveplate assemblies. In parallel, a planar magnetic coil chip substitutes bulky anti-Helmholtz coils and generates the required quadrupole magnetic field with substantially reduced power consumption. Using D
