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

We propose an ultrathin reconfigurable Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) for realizing dynamic frequency and amplitude modulations of spoof surface plasmon (SSP) signal. Active varactor diodes are integrated in the SSP unit cells on one of the MZI arms to introduce asymmetry to the MZI structure, which can control the interference patterns by varying bias voltages applied on the varactor diodes. We show that the spectral positions of multiple sharp interference dips are very sensitive to the change of diode capacitance, thereby allowing for good frequency modulation. We also demonstrate continuous amplitude modulation by tuning the varactor diodes at multiple selected frequencies. To verify the reconfigurable feature of the proposed SSP MZI, the frequency shift keying (FSK) and amplitude modulations have been experimentally demonstrated on the same structure. The modulation depth of the amplitude modulation can be further improved by designing geometrical parameters of the SSP structure, reaching a significant amplitude change from 0.88 to 0.05 in experiments.
