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

In this study, we passively analyzed the near-field characteristics of thermally excited evanescent waves, which are radiation waves generated by the local dynamics of materials, including electron motions and lattice vibrations. The thermally excited evanescent waves on aluminium nitride (AlN) and gallium nitride (GaN) were measured using passive spectroscopic scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) in the wavelength ranges of 10.5-12.2 μm and 14.0-15.0 μm, which include the surface phonon-polariton (SPhP) wavelength of the studied dielectrics. We determined the unique decay characteristics of AlN and GaN, indicating a ten-fold increase in the probe area contributing to the scattering of waves near the SPhP wavelength compared to that in other wavelength ranges. The extended probe area correlated with the polariton decay lengths, indicating that the non-enhanced polaritons around K ~ ω/c were dominant in the scattered waves near the SPhP wavelength. In addition to the conventional passive detection mechanisms for metals, the proposed detection scheme will be a versatile passive detection model in the near future.
