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

A negative index metamaterial (NIM) at ultraviolet range is constructed with stacked plasmonic waveguides. Based on the waveguides performing antisymmetric modes, the negative refractions of both wavevector and energy flow are realized when a TM-polarized light with a wavelength of 365 nm incidents on the plane of the layers. It is proved that the NIM could be introduced into subwavelength photolithography for extending working distance. Both theoretical and experimental results indicate that the patterns with a feature size of 160 nm can be reproduced in photoresist with a 100 nm-thick air working distance. Moreover, arbitrary two-dimensional patterns with a depth reach 160 nm can be obtained without diffraction fringe by employing a nonpolarized light. This design gives new insights into the manipulation of light. The improved working distance, well-shaped patterns over large area present an innovative method for improving subwavelength photolithography.
