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 propagation of light in the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) region of materials exhibits intriguing linear and nonlinear optical phenomenon that have been extensively exploited for a plethora of applications. Here, we show that the optical properties as well as the ENZ wavelength of magnetron-sputtered indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films could be judiciously engineered. The measurement of nonlinear optical properties reveals that the control of deposition conditions allows for the tuning of absorptive optical nonlinearity between saturable absorption and reverse saturable absorption. The ENZ wavelength for the ITO film is deduced as around 1553 nm. We obtain the highest third-order nonlinear absorption coefficient and imaginary part of third-order nonlinear susceptibility for the ITO thin film through Z-scan method as -50.56 cm/GW and ∼38 × 10
