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

Chiral plasmonic surfaces with 3D "forests" from nanohelicoids should provide strong optical rotation due to alignment of helical axis with propagation vector of photons. However, such three-dimensional nanostructures also demand multi-step nanofabrication, which is incompatible with many substrates. Large-scale photonic patterns on polymeric and flexible substrates remain unattainable. Here, we demonstrate the substrate-tolerant direct-write printing and patterning of silver nanohelicoids with out-of-plane 3D orientation using circularly polarized light. Centimeter-scale chiral plasmonic surfaces can be produced within minutes using inexpensive medium-power lasers. The growth of nanohelicoids is driven by the symmetry-broken site-selective deposition and self-assembly of the silver nanoparticles (NPs). The ellipticity and wavelength of the incident photons control the local handedness and size of the printed nanohelicoids, which enables on-the-fly modulation of nanohelicoid chirality during direct writing and simple pathways to complex multifunctional metasurfaces. Processing simplicity, high polarization rotation, and fine spatial resolution of the light-driven printing of stand-up helicoids provide a rapid pathway to chiral plasmonic surfaces, accelerating the development of chiral photonics for health and information technologies.
