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

Photonic computing systems require large numbers of accurate programmable voltages for photonic weight programming and device bias control. This paper presents a 128-channel digital-to-analog converter (DAC) implemented in a 250 nm BCD high-voltage CMOS process. A code-dependent per-channel auxiliary-DAC calibration scheme is proposed to compensate main-DAC conversion errors and channel-dependent offsets. In addition, a separated low-/high-voltage-domain driver and a stepwise multichannel update scheme are adopted to reduce static power and suppress update-induced disturbances. After calibration, the measured maximum absolute differential non-linearity (DNL) and integral non-linearity (INL) are 0.26 least significant bit (LSB) and 0.39 LSB, respectively, and the maximum deviation of voltage output (DVO) across 128 channels is 0.71 LSB. The DAC achieves rising/falling slew rates of 6.1/11.7 V/μs under an 8 V output swing. Under dynamic operation with 0.2 to 8.2 V sinusoidal outputs and a 10 kΩ load per channel, the total power consumption is 0.85 W. Thermo-optic phase-shifter measurements further verify programmable photonic phase tuning, demonstrating a scalable electrical control interface for thermo-optic phase-shifter-based photonic computing hardware.
