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

We demonstrate a robust and minimalist implementation of individually addressable optically actuated persistent current switches. We use a focused laser beam directed by a cryogenic laser scanner to drive a selected segment of a superconducting loop normal with a pulse of light. We address six distinct switches with a single electrical bias, and use SQUID readout to show that persistent current is trapped successfully. Based on the cryogenic scanner's performance, we argue that this method can address over 60,000 switches, with the full array being set in about one second. Persistent current switches are widely used in quantum circuits, and we expect the ability to set tens of thousands of persistent currents with a single bias line will be useful in many applications.
