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

High-brightness-integrated quantum light sources represent a fundamental element for large-scale photonic quantum technologies. Integrated microring resonator (MRR) in highly nonlinear and ultralow-loss material platforms enable entangled photon-pair generation, but device performance is affected by fabrication tolerances and can thus not be judiciously controlled. Redundant designs based on parameter variation are impractical for chip-scale circuits, as the sheer number of parameters would be too complex. To address this, passive photonic circuits must be combined with active control elements to optimize photon-pair emission and to match emission characteristics among sources. Here, we present a comprehensive study of an actively tunable, interferometrically coupled integrated MRR implemented in silicon nitride (SiN). By manipulating two thermally controlled phase shifters, the ring-bus coupling and the resonator phase can be dynamically adjusted, enabling post-fabrication control of its quality factor (Q-factor) between 10
