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

A tunable metamaterial nanograting coupler (MNC) is presented that is composed of a one-dimensional surface nanograting coupler with a bottom reflector and the metamaterial atop. For a single nanograting coupler, by introducing a reflector and optimizing nanograting parameters, the spatial coupling efficiency exceeds 97% around near-infrared wavelength of 1.43 μm. The metamaterial can be tuned by using micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technique. The relative height or lateral offset between metamaterial and coupling nanograting can be controlled, that the light-emitting efficiency can be separated into two different directions. In addition, the coupling efficiency is as high as 91% at the optical C-band communication window. Therefore, the proposed MEMS-based MNC not only has the possibility of coupling optical fibers with high-density integrated optoelectronic chips, but also has potential application prospects in light path switching, variable optical attenuation, and optical switch.
