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

Developing methods to sense local variations in properties of nearby materials, such as their refractive index and thickness, are important in numerous fields including chemistry and biomedical applications. Localized surface plasmons (LSPs) excited in plasmonic nanostructures have been demonstrated to be useful in this context due to the spectral location of their associated resonances being sensitive to changes in the environment near the plasmonic structures. This manuscript explores Babinet's principle by exploiting LSP resonances excited in complementary metal-dielectric cylindrical plasmonic structures (plasmonic particle-dimers and aperture-dimers in our case). Both plasmonic structures are evaluated numerically and experimentally using electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), providing a full physical understanding of the complementary nature of the excited LSP resonances. These plasmonic structures are then exploited for dielectric sensing under two configurations: when a thin dielectric film is positioned atop the plasmonic structures and when the analyte surrounds/fills the plasmonic particles/apertures. The complementary sensing performance of both proposed structures is also evaluated, showing the approximate validity of the Babinet principle with sensitivity values of up to ∼650 nm/RIU for thin dielectric sensing.
