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

Epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) polaritons in a thin transparent conducting-oxide film exhibit a significant electric field enhancement and localization within the film at frequencies close to their plasma frequency, but do not propagate. Meanwhile, plasmon polariton modes in thin metallic films can propagate for several microns, but are more loosely confined in the metal. Here, we propose a strongly coupled bilayered structure of a thin gold film on a thin indium tin oxide (ITO) film that supports hybrid polariton modes. We experimentally characterize the dispersion of these modes and show that they have propagation lengths of 4-8 μm while retaining mode confinement greater than that of the polariton in gold films by nearly an order of magnitude. We study the tunability of this coupling strength by varying the thickness of the ITO film and show that ultrastrong coupling is possible at certain thicknesses. The unusual linear and nonlinear optical properties of ITO at ENZ frequencies make these bifilms useful for the active tuning of strong coupling, ultrafast switching, and enhanced nonlinear interactions at near-infrared frequencies.
