Far-Field Radiation of Three-Dimensional Plasmonic Gold Tapers near Apexes.
Article in ACS photonics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Three-dimensional plasmonic gold tapers are widely used structures in nano-optics for achieving imaging at the nanometer scale, enhanced spectroscopy, confined light sources, and ultrafast photoelectron emission. To understand their radiation properties further, especially in the proximity of the apex at the nanoscale, we employ cathodoluminescence spectroscopy with high spatial and energy resolution. The plasmon-induced radiation in the visible spectral range from three-dimensional gold tapers with opening angles of 13° and 47° is investigated under local electron excitation. We observe a much weaker radiation from the apex of the 13° taper than from that of the 47° taper. By means of finite-difference time-domain simulations we show that for small opening angles plasmon modes that are created at the apex are efficiently guided along the taper shaft. In contrast for tapers with larger opening angles, generated plasmon polaritons experience larger radiation damping. Interestingly, we find for both tapers that the most intense radiation comes from locations a few hundreds of nanometers behind the apexes, instead of exactly at the apexes. Our findings provide useful details for the design of plasmonic gold tapers as confined light sources or light absorbers.
