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

Airy beams represent an important type of non-diffracting beams-they are the only non-diffracting wave in one dimension, and thus they can be produced with a cylindrical geometry that modifies a wavefront in one dimension. In this paper, we show the design of a cylindrical plasmonic metalens consisting of an array of nanoslits in a gold thin layer that modulates the phase of a Gaussian beam to generate an airy beam propagating in free space. Based on the numerical results, we show that it is possible to generate an airy beam by only matching the phase of wavefronts coming out from the array of gold nanoslits to the airy beam phase at plane z=0. We numerically demonstrate that the airy beam exhibits bending over propagation and self-healing properties. The transmission efficiency is around 60%. The simplicity of the proposed structure open new perspectives in the design of flat metasurfaces for light-focusing applications.
