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

Polycrystalline textured thin films with distinct pleochroism and birefringence comprising oriented rotational domains of the orthorhombic polymorph of an anilino squaraine with isobutyl side chains (SQIB) are analyzed by imaging Mueller matrix ellipsometry to obtain the biaxial dielectric tensor. Simultaneous fitting of transmission and oblique incidence reflection Mueller matrix scans combined with the spatial resolution of an optical microscope allows to accurately determine the full biaxial dielectric tensor from a single crystallographic sample orientation. Oscillator dispersion relations model well the dielectric tensor components. Strong intermolecular interactions cause the real permittivity for all three directions to become strongly negative near the excitonic resonances, which is appealing for nanophotonic applications.
