Research on the transmission characteristics and fabrication process of photonic lanterns.
Article in iScience, 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
As a waveguide device capable of realizing low-loss adiabatic transition from multiple single-mode fibers to a multimode fiber, the photonic lantern exhibits broad application prospects in fields such as mode division multiplexing communication, high-power laser manipulation, and astronomical observation. This paper systematically investigates the physical mechanism of mode evolution, numerical modeling methods, and transmission characteristic characterization of photonic lanterns. The full-process fabrication technology, including material pretreatment, bundle arrangement, tapering optimization, precision cleaving, and dissimilar splicing, is detailed, with key process factors analyzed. Comprehensive characterization shows transmission efficiency exceeding 98% at low power, while mode field tests verify mode evolution laws consistent with simulations, laying a theoretical foundation and technical support for the engineering application of photonic lanterns.
