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

We report a metal-dielectric planar structure which provides high efficiency coupling of fluorescence at distances over 100 nm away from the metal surface. This hybrid metal-dielectric waveguide (MDW) consists of a continuous metal film coated with a dielectric layer. We observed efficient long-range coupling of Rhodamine B on top of a 130 nm layer of silica resulting in a narrow angular distribution of the emission. The high efficiency radiation through the Ag film appears to be due to coupling of the fluorophore to an optical waveguide mode with a long propagation length and a narrow resonance. The results were consistent with simulations. These multi-layer structures can be made using vapor deposition and/or spin coating and the silica surface can be used for conjugation to biomolecules and surface-selective detection. This simple hybrid metal-dielectric structures provides new opportunities for fluorescence sensing, genomics, proteomics and diagnostics.
