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

The scattering matrix is the mathematical representation of the scattering characteristics of any scatterer. Nevertheless, except for scatterers with high symmetry like spheres or cylinders, the scattering matrix does not have any analytical forms and thus can only be calculated numerically, which requires heavy computation. Here, we have developed a well-trained deep neural network (DNN) that can calculate the scattering matrix of scatterers without symmetry at a speed thousands of times faster than that of finite element solvers. Interestingly, the scattering matrix obtained from the DNN inherently satisfies the fundamental physical principles, including energy conservation, time reversal and reciprocity. Moreover, inverse design based on the DNN is made possible by applying the gradient descent algorithm. Finally, we demonstrate an application of the DNN, which is to design scatterers with desired scattering properties under special conditions. Our work proposes a convenient solution of deep learning for scattering problems.
