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 paper, a reconfigurable sensing platform based on an asymmetrical metal-insulator-metal stacked structure integrating an indium tin oxide (ITO) ultrathin film is proposed and investigated numerically. The epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) mode and antisymmetric mode can be resonantly excited, generating near-perfect absorption of over 99.7% at 1144 and 1404 nm, respectively. The absorptivity for the ENZ mode can be modulated from 90.2% to 98.0% by varying the ENZ wavelength of ITO by applying different voltages. To obtain a highly sensitive biosensor, we show that the proposed structure has a full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 8.65 nm and a figure-of-merit (FOM) of 24.7 with a sensitivity of 213.3 nm/RI (refractive index) for the glucose solution. Our proposed device has potential for developing tunable biosensors for real-time health monitoring.
