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

It is not currently possible for an infrared camera to see through a hot window. The window's own blinding thermal emission prevents objects on the other side from being imaged. Here, we demonstrate a path to overcoming this challenge by coating a hot window with an asymmetrically emitting infrared metasurface whose specially engineered imaginary index of refraction produces an asymmetric spatial distribution of absorption losses in its constituent nanoscale resonators. Operating at 873 K, this metasurface-coated window suppresses thermal emission towards the camera while being sufficiently transparent for thermal imaging, doubling the thermal imaging contrast when compared to a control window at the same temperature.
