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 study, a surface diffraction two-dimensional (2D) grating structure was placed on the topmost layer of distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) for biosensing. Bloch surface wave (BSW) resonance was realized by coupling a 2D subwavelength hole-array grating and could be excited at different locations: the surface of 2D-grating layer or the inter-face between the DBR and bio-solution. Material losses in the multilayer dielectric were measured to test the robustness of this scheme. Both the surface diffraction-grating BSW (DG-BSW) and the alternative guided grating-coupled BSW (GC-BSW) configuration showed markedly enhanced angular sensitivity compared to conventional prism-coupled schematics. Exciting these modes using a grating-coupling technique appears to yield different extreme sensitivity modes with a maximum of 1190°/RIU for DG-BSW and 2255°/RIU for GC-BSW. Refractive index sensors with a high figure of merit may be realized via such compact configurations.
