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 report, a novel method to prepare photonic crystals based on the combination of soft-X-ray interference lithography (XIL) and reactive ion etching (RIE) with a bi-layer photoresist system was developed. XIL can be utilized to prepare periodic structures with high efficiency but the depth of etch is limited due to the strong absorption of photoresist for soft-X-ray. Based on the pattern prepared by XIL, RIE can be utilized to further etch a second layer of photoresist, so that one can obtain a large depth of etch. Controlling the dispersion relation of the prepared photonic crystals, strongly directional emission of plastic luminescent films was demonstrated. A wavelength-integrated enhancement of 2.64-folds enhancement in the range of 420 to 440 nm in the normal direction was obtained. Guided-mode resonance and Fabry-Perot resonance could be the critical factors to control the directional emission. Devices based on directional emission films have a variety of applications in such as detectors, optical communication and display screens.
