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

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have attracted much attention in the field of nanophotonics owing to their ability to trap photons without loss. Recently, a low-refractive-index (RI) waveguide loaded on a high-RI slab structure was demonstrated to support BICs. However, strict control of structural parameters is required due to the accidental nature of those BICs. Here, we propose a novel structure consisting of two low-RI vertically coupled waveguides loaded on a high-RI slab. This structure supports symmetry-protected BICs (SP-BICs), which do not require strict control of the geometric parameters. Such SP-BICs can also possess an infinitely high quality factor in resonant structures, which can be harnessed for ultranarrow-bandwidth spatial and spectral filters. Our work opens a new way of harnessing BICs on an integrated photonic platform for realizing nanophotonic circuits and devices.
