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

Using a metal/insulator/metal (MIM) structure with a gold nanoantenna array made by electron beam lithography, the responsivity of a HgTe colloidal quantum dot film is enhanced in the mid-infrared. Simulations indicate that the spatially averaged peak spectral absorption of an 80 nm film is 60%, enhanced 23-fold compared to that of the same film on a bare sapphire substrate. The field intensity enhancement is focused near the antenna tips, being 20-fold 100 nm away, which represents only 1% of the total area and up to 1000-fold at the tips. The simulated polarized absorption spectra are in good agreement with the experiments, with a strong resonance around 4 μm. A responsivity of 0.6 A/W is obtained at a 1 V bias. Noise measurements separate the 1/f noise from the generation-recombination white noise and give a spatially averaged photoconductive gain of 0.3 at 1 V bias. The spatially averaged peak detectivity is improved 15-fold compared to the same film on a sapphire substrate without an MIM structure. The experimental peak detectivity reaches 9 × 10
