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

Azimuthal orientation and handedness dependence of the optical responses, accompanied by asymmetric transmission and asymmetric dichroism, were demonstrated on multilayers constructed with subwavelength periodic arrays of Babinet complementary miniarrays, illuminated by linearly and circularly polarized light. In case of single-sided illumination asymmetric optical responses were observed at the spectral location of maximal cross-polarization that is accompanied by radiative electric dipoles and weak, slowly-rotating in-plane magnetic dipoles on the nano-objects; where the outgoing waves are elliptically (almost circularly) polarized. The negative index material phenomenon was demonstrated, where the electric and magnetic dipoles overlap both spatially and spectrally. The negative index material (NIM) phenomenon is accompanied by electric multipoles that add up non-radiatively and correlates with the strong, pronouncedly-tilted, rotating magnetic dipoles characteristic on the nano-entities, where the outgoing waves are linearly (slightly elliptically) polarized. By illuminating the multilayer with two counter-propagating circularly polarized beams it was proven that asymmetrical normal component displacement currents at the bounding interfaces, arising along flat and tilted bands, accompany the asymmetric copolarized and cross-polarized transmission. The latter correlates with the asymmetric dichroism in the cross-polarized signal observed in case of single-sided circularly polarized light illumination. The dispersion maps in the single-sided asymmetrical co-polarized reflectance and absorptance indicate flat bands of analogous and complementary extrema, proving the partially dichroic nature of the observed asymmetric phenomena. The Tellegen (chirality) coefficients exhibit a maximum in a spectral region coincident with the asymmetric transmission (maximal polarization rotation in the 90° azimuthal orientation). The multilayer is proposed as an ultrathin NIM and nonreciprocal nanophotonic element.
