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

Interlaced metallic meshes form a class of three-dimensional metamaterials that exhibit nondispersive, broadband modes at low frequencies, without the low frequency cutoff typical of generic wire grid geometries. However, the experimental observation of these modes has remained an open challenge, both due to the difficulties in fabricating such complex structures and also because the broadband mode is longitudinal and does not couple to free-space radiation (dark mode). Here we report the first experimental observation of the low frequency modes in a block of interlaced meshes fabricated through 3D printing. We demonstrate how the addition of monopole antennas to opposing faces of one of the meshes enables coupling of a plane wave to the low frequency "dark mode" and use this to obtain the dispersion of the mode. In addition, we utilize orthogonal antennas on opposite faces to achieve polarization rotation as well as phase shifting of radiation passing through the structure. Our work paves the way toward further experimental study into interlaced meshes and other complex 3D metamaterials.
