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

Components smaller than the wavelength of electromagnetic waves are called meta-atoms. Thermal emission can be controlled by an artificial structure in which these meta-atoms are arranged on the surface. This artificial structure is called a metasurface, and its optical properties are determined by the materials and shapes of the meta-atoms. However, optical devices may require active control of thermal emission. In the present study, we theoretically and numerically analyze a wavelength-selective emitter using a graphene ribbon metasurface. The graphene ribbon metasurface consists of a graphene ribbon array, potassium bromide thin film, and silver substrate. The geometric parameters of the graphene metasurface are determined based on an equivalent circuit model that agrees well with the results of the electromagnetic field analysis (rigorous coupled-wave analysis). The proposed emitter causes impedance matching depending on the conductivity of the graphene ribbon in a very narrow wavelength range. The conductivity of graphene can be actively controlled by the gate voltage. Therefore, the proposed emitters may realize near-perfect emission with a high quality factor and active controllable switching for various wavelengths. In addition, the quality factor can be changed by adjusting the electron mobility of graphene. The proposed emitter can be used for optical devices such as thermophotovoltaic systems and biosensing.
