Creating and moving nanoantenna cold spots anywhere.
Article in Light, science & applications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Cold spots are sub-wavelength regions which might emerge near a nanoantenna, should one or more components of some far-field illumination cancel out with scattered light. We show that by changing only the polarisation, amplitude, and phase of two plane waves, a unique, zero-magnitude and highly sub-wavelength cold spot can be created and moved anywhere in the space around a nanoantenna of any arbitrary shape. This can be achieved using ultra-fast modulated pulses, or a time-harmonic approximation. Easily disturbed by a change in the nanoantenna's material or position, a manufactured cold spot is fragile and could be used in nanoscale sensing. Our technique exploits the linearity of Maxwell's equations and could be adapted to manipulate any phenomena governed by the linear wave equation, including acoustic scattering. This is a means for potentially ultra-fast sub-wavelength electric field manipulation.
