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

We propose and design a flat and tunable terahertz lens achieved through a two-dimensional photonic crystal composed of an array of rods made of a Dirac semimetal placed in air as the background medium. The structure of interest is a graded index photonic crystal, made possible by the slight variations in the rods' radii in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the light propagation. Dirac semimetals' ability to respond to variations in their Fermi energy level manifested as a change in the refractive index provides the tunability of our proposed lens. The interaction of electromagnetic waves with the designed structure is investigated for both transverse magnetic and transverse electric polarizations using two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method.
