All-fiber random Kerr optical frequency combs.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Optical frequency combs (OFCs) unite the electromagnetic spectrum coherently, and they can be realized in a number of different techniques, e.g., OFCs based on mode-locked lasers, electro-optic modulation of continuous-wave (CW) lasers, CW-pumped ring cavities such as micro-resonators, soliton formation and compression through modulation instability induced by dual-laser pumping, etc. Here, we introduce a different approach, achieving the first random Kerr OFC, the spectral-synthesized analog of a random laser. Based on modulation instability for simultaneous parametric amplification and temporal amplitude compression assisted by the distributed random feedback through Rayleigh scattering within a half-open cavity, trains of solitons are formed and further compressed leading to OFCs with spectral bandwidth over ~ 100 nm, wide comb spacing of ~ 1 nm, and minimum soliton duration of ~ 390 fs. The random Kerr OFC can operate continuously as a robust and flexible device, offering adjustable comb spacing, tunable soliton repetition rate, and tunable gate rate.
