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

Conventional optical high numerical aperture lenses are essential for high-resolution imaging, but bulky and expensive. In comparison, metalens-based optical components are the subjects of intensive investigation for their flexible manipulation of light. Methods of detecting and characterizing focal spots and scanning imaging produced by metalenses are well established. However, widefield imaging by metalenses is experimentally challenging. This study demonstrates the design and realization of silicon-based metalenses with numerical apertures of 0.447 and 0.204 in the broadband spectrum of 580-780 nm for microscopic widefield imaging. The optimized aspect ratio of the single nanorod is 5.1:1, which reduces the fabrication difficulty compared to other, more complicated designs and fabrication. Furthermore, we successfully demonstrate widefield imaging by the designed metalens and compare the simulated and the experimentally extracted modulation transfer function curves of the metalens.
