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

Quantum optimal control has become a central tool for designing high-performance pulse sequences in magnetic resonance and quantum technologies. Early developments in NMR relied on heuristic composite and shaped pulses or analytical approaches such as average Hamiltonian theory. The introduction of modern optimal control algorithms enabled the systematic optimization of thousands of control parameters, greatly expanding the achievable performance and scope of pulse engineering. This review summarizes key developments in optimal control of spin and pseudo-spin systems and highlights major applications in magnetic resonance, in quantum technologies, and in the control of atoms and molecules.
