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, the hybridized localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) of a periodic assembly of graphene-wrapped nanoparticles are used to design a nanoparticle assisted optical absorber. Bandwidth enhancement of this structure via providing multiple types of plasmonic resonances in the associated unit cell using two densely packed crossly stacked graphene strips is proposed. The designed graphene strips support fundamental propagating surface plasmons on the ribbons, and gap plasmons in the cavity constructed by the adjacent sections. Graphene strips exhibit a hyperbolic dispersion region in the operating spectrum and assist in the bandwidth enhancement. Moreover, since the nanoparticles are deposited on the top strips, real-time biasing of them can be easily conducted by exciting the surface plasmons of the strip without the necessity to electrically connect the adjacent nanoparticles. The overall dynamic bandwidth of the structure, using a two-state biasing scheme, covers the frequencies of 18.16-40.47 THz with 90% efficiency. Due to the symmetry of the structure, the device performs similarly for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves and it has a high broadband absorption rate regarding different incident angles up to 40°. Due to the presence of 2D graphene material and also using hollow spherical particles, our proposed absorber is also lightweight and it is suitable for novel compact optoelectronic devices due to its sub-wavelength dimensions.
