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

In this paper, we present an all-optical XOR gate based on two-dimensional photonic crystals (PCs). The proposed gate is designed to be used in optical computing and all-optical logic applications, offering advantages such as fast computation and parallel processing. To enhance the design process and optimize its performance, we employ artificial neural network (ANN) to model the gate's behavior. A dataset of 555 samples, obtained from the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method, is used to train the ANN model. Subsequently, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to find optimal values of XOR design parameters, including the lattice constant and the radius of the rods. This optimization process leads to an optimized structure that enhances the gate's performance. The proposed all-optical XOR gate exhibits a range of output powers across the respective logical states (desired state): 0 (0), 0.995 (1), 0.935 (1), and 0.015 (0). The proposed structure achieved an acceptable contrast ratio of 17.947 dB. By leveraging the ANN-PSO approach to improve the performance of PCs, we demonstrate a promising strategy for developing complex and efficient optical computing systems.
