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

Thin-film coatings offer a scalable optical platform, as compared to nanopatterned films, for various applications including structural coloring, photovoltaics, and sensing. Recently, Fano resonant optical coatings (FROCs) have gained attention. FROCs consist of coupled thin film nanocavities composed of a broadband and a narrowband optical absorber. The optical properties of FROCs can be dynamically adjusted using chalcogenide phase change materials (PCM). Switching the structural states of PCM layers in the cavity between amorphous and crystalline states, the Fano resonance supported by FROC can be modulated in terms of resonance wavelength, intensity, and bandwidth. This review discusses the scientific and technological facets of both passive and active FROCs for applications in structural coloring and spectrum-splitting filters. We explore electrically tunable FROCs for dynamic color generation and optical steganography. Furthermore, we discuss the utilization of passive and active FROCs as spectrum-splitting filters to mitigate the drop in photovoltaic efficiency of solar cells due to heating and for hybrid thermal-electric power generation.
