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

Optical imaging systems, like microscopes, cameras, and telescopes, continue to expand the scope of human observation of the world. As one of the key indicators of imaging systems, the field-of-view (FOV) is often limited by coma aberration. Expanding it generally relies on a combination of complex lenses, leading to a bulky and cumbersome system. Recently, the emergency of meta-optics provides an alternative to constructing compact and lightweight large-FOV metalens through elaborated phase modulation within a flat surface, showing great potential in surveillance, unmanned vehicles, onboard planes or satellites, medical science, and other new applications. In this article, we review recent advances of wide-angle metalenses, including operation principles, design strategies, and application demos. Firstly, basic principles of wide-angle imaging using a single metalens are interpreted. Secondly, some advanced methods for designing subwavelength structures with high angle robustness and high efficiency are discussed. Thirdly, some representative functional devices and applications are surveyed. Finally, we conclude with an outlook on future potentials and challenges that need to be overcome.
