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

Molecular aggregates are a fascinating and important class of materials, particularly in the context of optical (pigmented) materials. In nature, molecular aggregates are employed in photosynthetic light harvesting structures, while synthetic aggregates are employed in new generation molecular sensors and magnets. The roles of disorder and symmetry are vital in determining the photophysical properties of molecular aggregates, but have been hard to investigate experimentally, owing to a lack of sufficient structural control at the molecular level and the challenge of probing their optical response with molecular spatial resolution. We present a new approach using microwave analogues of molecular aggregates to study the properties of both individual meta-molecules and 1D molecular chains. We successfully replicate J- and H-aggregate behavior and demonstrate the power of our approach through the controlled introduction of structural symmetry breaking. Our results open a new area of study, combining concepts from molecular science and metamaterials.
