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

Metals, renowned for their high reflectivity, find extensive use in various technological applications, from mirrors to optical coatings in radars, telescopes, and mobile communications. However, their potential in antireflective coatings has remained largely untapped. In this study, we demonstrate that by applying an ultrathin metallic film onto an oxide layer, we can achieve a flawless optical surface with zero reflectivity. This phenomenon has been successfully observed across various metals, including Sn, Ag, Au, Pt, Bi, and Nb, showcasing its broad applicability. The underlying principle lies in the emergence of surface states, where the Rashba effect is strong, which give rise to the formation of Rashba metamaterial and metasurface (RMM) structures. Remarkably, these RMMs can be fine-tuned to act as high-resolution Veselago lenses. To illustrate, we achieved zero reflectivity with an RMM consisting of a 1 nm thick Sn metal film on a 1 nm Ge buffer, situated on a 60 nm Al
