Highly efficient narrowband terahertz pulse generated from a radial plasma oscillator via mid-infrared lasers.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Plasma-based terahertz (THz) sources are currently limited to low laser-to-THz conversion efficiencies. Generating narrowband THz radiation remains particularly challenging for high-power THz applications. Here we demonstrate an unprecedented 0.88% laser-to-THz energy conversion efficiency from the recently proposed radial plasma oscillator (RPO) scheme [M. Kumar et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 015001 (2025)] driven by mid-infrared laser pulses at [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Theoretical modelling and quasi-3D particle-in-cell simulations have been used to achieve THz pulse energies up to 0.341 mJ, with a peak field strength of 6.94 GV/m and a narrow spectral width ~ 15.5%. It is also shown that the high efficiency is well-preserved under field-ionized and collisional plasma conditions, making it a practical pathway toward compact narrowband high-power THz sources.
