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

Metasurfaces have emerged as a breakthrough platform for manipulating light at the nanoscale and enabling on-demand optical functionalities for next-generation biosensing, imaging, and light-generating photonic devices. However, translating this technology to practical applications requires low-cost and high-throughput fabrication methods. Due to the limited choice of materials with suitable optical properties, it is particularly challenging to produce metasurfaces for the technologically relevant mid-infrared spectral range. These constraints are overcome by realizing functional metasurfaces on almost completely transparent free-standing metal-oxide membranes. A versatile nanofabrication process is developed and implemented for highly efficient dielectric and plasmonic mid-infrared metasurfaces with wafer-scale and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible manufacturing techniques. The advantages of this method are revealed by demonstrating highly uniform and functional metasurfaces, including high-Q structures enabling fine spectral selectivity, large-area metalenses with diffraction-limited focusing capabilities, and birefringent metasurfaces providing polarization control at record-high conversion efficiencies.  Aluminum plasmonic devices and their integration into microfluidics for real-time and label-free mid-infrared biosensing of proteins and lipid vesicles are further demonstrated. The versatility of this approach and its compatibility with mass-production processes bring infrared metasurfaces markedly closer to commercial applications, such as thermal imaging, spectroscopy, and biosensing.
