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

Electro-optic metasurfaces have demonstrated significant potential in enhancing the modulation speed and efficiency for fast and large-scale free-space optical devices. Barium titanate has a strong electro-optic Pockels coefficient, but its availability in thin-film form is restricted due to costly growth processes or low thickness. Here, we fabricated active metasurfaces using an etch-free bottom-up process with sol-gel-based polycrystalline barium titanate with a large electro-optic coefficient similar to bulk lithium niobate. We achieve strong hybrid Mie/surface lattice resonances with a quality-factor of 200 at 633 nm wavelength, enhancing the light-matter interaction and therefore the Pockels effect. The metasurface transmission is electro-optically modulated with up to 5 MHz driving frequency at low voltages of less than 1 V thanks to resonant enhancement of the modulation amplitude by 2 orders of magnitude. This successful demonstration of electro-optic modulation in nanoimprinted barium titanate structures paves the way for low-cost and large-scale free-space modulators or tunable metalenses.
