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

Momentum-space polarization vortices centered at symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum of a periodic structure, e.g. photonic crystal slab, provide a novel nonlocal approach to generate vortex beams. This approach enjoys a great convenience of no precise alignment requirements, although the generation efficiency of the nonlocal generators requires further optimization before the practical application. In this work, we propose a temporal-coupled-mode-theory-based guideline for high-efficiency nonlocal reflection-type vortex generator design. The conversion efficiency of the vortex beam is found to be limited by the ratio of the radiative loss to the intrinsic absorption in practical systems. To increase this ratio through mode selection and structure design, the photonic crystal slabs are theoretically designed and experimentally characterized, showing a maximum on-resonance conversion efficiency of up to 86%. Combining high efficiency with simple fabrication and no requirement for precise alignment, reflection-type photonic crystal slabs could offer a new and competitive way to generate vortex beams flexibly.
