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

Active functionalities of metasurfaces are of growing interest in nanophotonics. The main strategy employed to date is spectral resonance tuning affecting predominantly the far-field response. However, this barely influences other essential resonance properties like near-field enhancement, signal modulation, quality factor, and absorbance, which are all vital for numerous applications. Here we introduce an active metasurface approach that combines temperature-tunable losses in vanadium dioxide with far-field coupling tunable symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum. This method enables exceptional precision in independently controlling both radiative and nonradiative losses. Consequently, it allows for the adjustment of both the far-field response and, notably, the near-field characteristics like local field enhancement and absorbance. We experimentally demonstrate continuous tuning from under- through critical- to overcoupling, achieving quality factors of 200 and a relative switching contrast of 78%. Our research marks a significant step toward highly tunable metasurfaces, controlling both near- and far-field properties.
