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 thin metasurface perfect absorber based on refractory titanium nitride (TiN) is proposed. The size parameter of the metasurface is investigated based on the finite difference time domain method and transfer matrix method. With only a 15-nm-thick TiN layer inside the silica/TiN/silica stacks standing on the TiN substrate, the near-perfect absorption throughout the visible regime is realized. The cross-talk between the upper and lower dielectric layers enables the broadening of the absorption peak. After patterning the thin film into a nanodisk array, the resonances from the nanodisk array emerge to broaden the high absorption bandwidth. As a result, the proposed metasurface achieves perfect absorption in the waveband from 400 to 2000 nm with an average absorption of 95% and polarization-insensitivity under the normal incidence. The proposed metasurface maintains average absorbance of 90% up to 50-degree oblique incidence for unpolarized light. Our work shows promising potential in the application of solar energy harvesting and other applications requiring refractory metasurfaces.
