Strong Polarization Transformation of Bloch Surface Waves.
Article in Physical review applied, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Polarization is an intrinsic attribute of optical waves, so manipulating the polarization state of optical surface waves can be of a fundamental importance for the next-generation information and bio-photonics technology. Here, we show theoretically that the polarization of the Bloch surface wave (BSW) on a dielectric multilayer can be transformed between a transverse-electric (TE) state and a transverse-magnetic (TM) state by using the laterally continuous grooves inscribed on this multilayer. This polarization transformation can be enhanced or inhibited by the interference between the reflected BSW beams, which can be tuned by the periodicity and depth of the grooves. The maximum polarization transformation efficiency can be achieved as high as 43% when the number of grooves is increased to 10. A generalized Fresnel formula is proposed to describe the polarization transformation of the BSW beams. Due to this polarization transformation, an anomalous reflection of BSW beams can be realized, which is the inequality between the incident angle and the reflection angle.
