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

Metasurface design tends to be tedious and time-consuming based on sweeping geometric parameters. Common numerical simulation techniques are slow for large areas, ultra-fine grids, and/or three-dimensional simulations. Simulation time can be reduced by combining the principle of the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) with analytical solutions for light scattered by a dipole near a flat surface. The DDA has rarely been used in metasurface design, and comprehensive benchmarking comparisons are lacking. Here, we compare the accuracy and speed of three DDA methods-substrate discretization, two-dimensional Cartesian Green's functions, and one-dimensional (1D) cylindrical Green's functions-against the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. We find that the 1D cylindrical approach performs best. For example, the
